Mark, Ebay (and the FCC I guess) wont allow this particular model to be listed or sold/resold.
It seems there is an entire underground CB thing going on, slightly disguised as 10 meter rigs... I thought it could be sold as a 10 meter rig, but they will not allow it listed at all. It seems like a nice radio (for CB), if a xtal is changed, it would cover CB and most of the 10 meter phone band. I like the nasa style unkey beep...
