    I wonder why would you want to?

    I've got one for almost nothing and used it a few times, don't like it at all.

    Uniden President 2510 Conversion if you want to tackle it yourself.

    There is also the "Chipswitch" conversion for the 2510; see http://www.popular-hifi.com/shack/cb_hr2510/chip.html

    Unfortunately it looks like the domain chipswitch.com was not renewed and is set to expire so I am not certain about the availability of these any longer.

    Poor guy asks a simple question, gets trolled. Jerry it's very simple. There are 3 transistors you have to pull and like magic the radio is on a new band. Of course everything is illegal so put your own disclamer here___________.

    This proceedure is part of the regular "peak & tune" at any cb shop. Dont bother with it unless you plan to peak & tune it your self as well.

    Now, run, don't walk, to the thread on where to find a good cb shop.

    Or walk into most any truck stop or the shack outside. It's not brain surgery so you don't need a 5 star shop for this one. Any schmuck with a screwdriver and a meter can hook you up.
