New Brand of CB Radio ?

Pat's comment? What's wrong with us having a little fun?
OK, everybody get serious now, MARS/CAP mods are only legal if you're a member of MARS but CAP uses "special" radios these days so that doesn't count. 60M is obvious and in the case of the MK2G which I own BTW you can't get 60M without opening up the transmit VFO to track the receiver. As long as you hold a license to operate it (on ham bands) owning it is legal as long as you don't transmit outside your privileges. Common sense since unless you're an Extra you can do that without modifying it, no?

And now you can buy a VHF/UHF radio out of China that will transmit on public service bands with no mods what so ever kind of reinforces the idea that you are on the honor system if you hold a ham license but if you're just an average Joe, you may not know that these radios have a real ID, a name that can be traced back to your specific unit ... if you get caught.
