What is a 10 k/c shift good for????

You can get the A channels, going from memory here it is like 3A in between 3 and 4 and 19A and I think 23A someone will correct me if I am wrong but basically there are a few channels (frequencies) that are skipped in the normal 40 channels and this 10KC shift allows you access to them.
Or to tune in someone running a Galaxy CB on SSB....bada bing!
True, the 3 or 4 hz is the average drift for a Galaxy SSB radio out of the box.

If you look at a 12 band channel chart you will see in each band there are some skips or missed frequency's. These are called RC channels or "A" channels. Years ago remote controlled cars and planes used them.
The "A" channels are 3A,7A,11A,15A, and 19A. In a radio like a 2950 or Magnum 257 when you flip the dial they show up. On say a Galaxy radio to get to an "A" channel you would go to say channel 7 and then hit the 10kc switch, you are now on channel 7A.
The "A" channels are great on a noisy day when it sounds like the whole country is talking. You can flip over to an A channel and have much less noise. Since you are now on a different frequency someone on a regular cb cannot follow you there.
The 10 kH switch usually allows one channel above or higher and will give, as others have said, the A channels or RC skips, also channel 41, right above 40.... if the rig is already modified, this feature will fill in the gaps on high or low channels, depending on what radio this is for. :blink:
