If you would replace the 11.730 crystal with one .455 KC more than your transmit Crystal, add a simple BFO , the radio would be a neat 10 meter transceiver.
Is there much call for 10m AM these days, I noticed the set has a 455IF so why not build a simple FM board and convert it to 10m FM rather than AM...Or better still switchable AM/FM.
lol @ nubs with guns.. You know the MAJOR reason why they say never to use a metal screw driver... has little to do with the 12v running through the radio. As much as it does it causes the inductor adjustments to CHANGE with the presence of the screw driver near them - Changes the magnetic field. Nice one, Idiot..
This is a great video. I love to see people modifying old equipment to give it new life and purpose. It's too bad the ignorant have an opportunity to volley their ridiculous thoughts and comments here. This guy did a nice job, and I don't see any of you other guys doing anything like this. Oh yeah, and sticking a metal screwdriver in a radio is pretty common. That's 20 years of Motorola high level service tech experience talking.....lighten up Francis!!
first of all it doesn't matter if its off, second, he didn't touch any contacts so its fine, and third, it would be better than him sticking his finger into a circuit board to try to point something out don't you think?
I am not an expert, but 10 meters are part of the hamradio frecuencies or 28 Mg. is not the same, anybody can use a CB radio, but 10 meters are used by Hamradio......................
Yes, this is correct. You need a ham license, very easy to get now that you don't need to learn code (CW), to transmit on the 10 meter ham band (28 to 29.7MHz. Without it its just not worth paying the $10,000 FCC fine

CB liner is cheap, hams should use them also, it should work well with QRP 5 watts radio, probably work fine in any band below 28 MHz

Hey, modifying even a new CB is the same thing. They just buy re-badged 20+ year old technology they thing is new.
It's all good.

A $10,000 fine ha ha ha. You couldn't pay thr FCC $10,000 to fine someone for that. Get with the century.
orange70383 2 years ago
Well, go ahead, by all means, break the law. I'm sure the judge may drop the fine down a few K after you cry and whine that you don't have any money.
The FCC doesn't care, they just love to track you guys down with their doppler DF equipment.

I just inhearited my dads old CB Base station and I'd like to Hot Rod it :)

10 meters is the band just above CB. CB is set at 27 Mhz, and 10 meters is 28-29 Mhz.
