It's a good radio. Just wish it has the same quality receive as a Ten Tec.
It may not be up to "Ham" standards BUT in it's day people claimed they were one of the best CB's for RX that you could buy. Add a Channel guard........

Thank you :)
Hello.
Dozens of ham rigs were modded to do CB in the '70s era.
I am still amazed at what was done.
The KWM-2(a) was a popular radio for conversion to AM.
But THE radio that was the super CB of old was the Yaesu FT-101.
Some even came with 11 meters installed from the factory!
The output section was TV sweep tubes, very cheap in the day.
And since a newer model would come out every so often the hams would trade up.
Mobile mounted FT-101 all scratched up? no problem, the CBers would come up with all manner of paint jobs!
In fact, I have a few that I repainted blue, as the VW microbus paint jobs were just not me. ;)
