Converting 10 meter radio

Your connex would operate on the 11 meter cb channels, but no it would not be legal. The reason is because it is not type certified by the f.c.c. Its power output exceeds the limits set by the f.c.c. for 11 meters, too. The limit for output on cb band is 4 watts AM and 12 pep for sideband. Lots of people run converted 10 meter radios and don't get bothered by anyone, but if you get caught it'll cost you. My advice is if you are going to use that radio, stay in the cb band and out of the ham freqs. Hope this was helpful.

 

all it means is that you will then have the cb freqs. all cb's that dont have an fcc compliant sticker or any radio that is moded to have more watts is illegal. Once you get it moded stay off any channel that is not allocated for cb usage unless you have a license to do so

 

Low i believe refers to your watts. now as to a,b,c i have no clue

 

Set band switch to HI set band selector to A/D.

 

Corey,
Every radio "channel" or frequency has a "wavelength", the "11 Meter band" refers to the wavelength of the frequencies/"channels" assigned to the "Citizen's Radio Service" which are 26.965MHz (Channel 1) to 27.405MHz (channel 40), there are some "remote control channels" assigned between some of the "voice channels".
The actual frequency at exactly 11 Meters is 27.2727272727272727272727272727272727272727272727 MHz, and an antenna "cut for" that frequency would probably resonate quite well across 26.965-27.405 MHz.
If you would like more information, feel free to contact me on this forum.

PS: There are a lot of [truck] drivers who are also Amateur Radio Operators, and some of them even have put Amateur radios in the cabs of their trucks.

I have heard that some of them are considering allowing their ham "tickets" lapse and that's a shame, where would baseball be if Jackie Robinson had quit after his first season?

 

NEVER give up a license

 

Since Corey was Last Seen: 07.21.2009 09.45 PM it is clear he was caught with his illegal radio... I think he's due for early release for good behaviour in 2013.
