10 Meter Radio "Conversion" Question

The ones I've had on my bench both add 11 Meters *and* change the 10 Meter band segments the radio covers. My own rig is an Emperor, and once enabled the band switch toggles through 4 or 5 channel banks. I can't speak to the other more commonly seen import rigs.
Several of the import rigs, right out of the box, only cover 28.000 to 28.295, but those freqs are all within the non-voice (Morse, digital modes). Which is kinda pointless for a radio that can't do anything other than AM voice.

The CB Tricks site can probably give you more specifics based upon the actual make & model you're thinking of getting.

Hope that helps some.

most conversions cut out most of the 10 meter band although I have seen one conversion that keeps most of the band on Galaxy radios but it is a bit more than just cutting a wire or diode.

For the Stryker 955 the range is extended and you lose nothing.

On my Galaxy 99v2 band E is 11 meter, band F,G,H are 10 meter and bands A,B,C,D are all below 26965.

 

Correction: Band F is 27415 to 27855, Band G is 27865 to 28305 and Band H is 28315 to 28755.

 

I'm not sure what your are saying in relation to the question? Did you lose any frequencies or bands after conversion?

 

Well I guess 10 meter is 27000 to 29700 so I guess they are all not there, dont know if they were all there before conversion to 11 meter.

 

10 meter starts at 28000 not 27000, Im confused will stop posting

 

Converting the Icom7000 you don't lose any channels....
