Can't remember which model, Comstat 25, 25A, or 25B but somewhere in the
middle of its series, they changed the crystal mixing frequencies. Didn't
change the model number but followed it up with a service bulletin to the
retail stores who had service shops. The 25 series was a very hot retail
item
I have a Comsat 35 for trade or sale.

Its 'supposed' to be for 10 meters, does am, fm, ssb, at about

Most activity is on 29.1 to 29.2 So you can select crystals to move up 2 Mhz
so you will have channels beginning with 29.0. Some started at 28.9XX so the
channels fell at 29.0,29.01,29.02,29.035,etc. If your rig has a claifier it
can be set to tune between channels as they are not all on 10 khz spa

In my Ro
Theo: There once was a plan to move the CB set up exactly 2.0 MHz from the
Channel 1 CB Frequency (26.965) which means that the converted set would
be on 28.965 for channel 1 etc. I never heard much activity there so I
started making Channel 1 start at 29.0 MHz where there is a much better

The channelized conversion can be found in old 73 magazine articles called
CB to TEN from the mid seventies.
I would not use those ,instead a good choice of frequencies would be
29.000,
29.025and 29.050 email me off lost with the radio model you are considering
for the conversion I have done q
Mark,
The HTX10 will bring you lots of AM qsos too, but the tube rigs will indeed
sound much better.
I'm curious which cb model you will be converting.
is at least 5-5 anywhere in the country.

Thank you to everyone who replied. I have a good place to start.
Going to order crystals for 29.0 and 29.1 next week, then start the
retuning after they are received.
An old ham friend of mine in Georgia just gave me a RS HTX-10 mobile,
which also has AM. I will try playing with that until the

Mark,
Don't let the low power of the cb rigs discourage you. Get one going on 29.0
or above up to 29.1, and keep trying for contacts.
I have had 2 different converted rigs, one old Radio Shack 23 channel ssb/am
unit in the late 70s with which I worked almost all states and many
countries with
Monitor/call cq on 29000 khz and then move higher to qso.
