Before Eric Stops this thread, This is a point I have wondered about for a long time. In the US, it has been illegal to use CB frequencies since the late 70's. To the hams this mean that transverters had only 2 Mhz to work with (28-30mhz) as an IF. This means that a 6 meter transverter had to be crystaled 50-52 or 52-54. The same is true for the other bands that are 4 Mhz wide also. I have often wondered if the FCC would allow an "IF" radio to be built that covers either 26-30 Mhz or 28-32 Mhz to allow tranverters access to both small signal and FM ends of the band. Maybe this is a point that we have been to afraid to ask (with good reason, the FCC scared me well). Maybe there was another answer all along we did not know it. Maybe the popularity of the CB band has dwindled to the point that it is not the hot spot we remember.
