Message:: [QUOTE="Gadfly, post: 1114891, member: 3751"]Since you are wanting to do it 'legal & right' (and that's a good thing, IMHO), stay away from the so-called "10 Meter 'amateur'" radios. They are ILLEGAL for use on CB. Sure, it would handy to have 10 and 11 Meters in ONE radio, but these things are NOT FCC-approved, and will never be. Should you ever get caught USING one of them on CB, you could lose your amateur license + get a fine. There's a whole string of them at <a href="http://www.arrl.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.arrl.org" rel="nofollow">www.arrl.org</a>. Follow the yellow border to "amateur radio enforcement". or go to FCC.gov/enforcement. Follow the links. Some of them are pretty recent. The legal route is to buy/keep an FCC-approved, 40 channel, non-modified CB radio and then buy ham radios as needed to cover amateur. There is an old saying: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". IOW, when on CB, do the usual (legal) stuff on CB. When doing ham stuff, keep the CB (equipment, lingo, etc) OUT of it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_2559.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_2559:" unselectable="on" />  GF[/QUOTE]
