Canada and the US CB channels are the same, Canada calls CB the "General 
Radio Service."  A former CB technician told me several years ago that 
there was a very simple modification to a synthesized radio ... 
something like clipping out a diode or similar ... that would shift the 
frequencies up by 1 MHz.  If that's the case, 28.085 MHz would be CB/GRS 
Channel 11.  I suppose one might need to tweak the RF stages some, or 
maybe not.
