    I really wish people wouldn't hack up good radio equipment with front-panel holes and what have you. Really devalues the gear, and there are better ways to implement mods.

    Agreed! If it were me, I would have removed the Tone control and placed the kit there and used the knob from the Tone control.... but then if it were me, there would not be an extra channel kit in the radio, unless I was trying to put it on 10M.

    I have learned that this is an Expo 100 "L" kit. I found the info on CB Tricks.... which appears to be a great site for people looking for info.

    Whenever someone says to me "the price is X on ebay", my response is always, well sell it on ebay. I don't think I'm alone.

    The Peoria Superfest will be my first swap meet out here, so I don't know what the sellers are like here, but I know in California, people trying to get ebay prices will be looking at their equipment all day long.
    Yes, eBay is a lousy way to determine value, but it is a place to start. I figure I'll set the price at $250 and negotiate. I think the lowest I would go is $150.

    What day are you going? I'll be there on Saturday (the 21st). My brother (the former KA9MOT) will be sitting for his Tech and General and if I'm ready, I'll be sitting for Extra. Maybe I'll see you there.

    Anybody else going to Superfest? I'll be the short legged, round guy in bib overalls with the big smile on my face.

    You'll have to do better than that. Your description will fit 80% of the fest goers. You can narrow it down by indicating you will be the one that has had a shower within the last 48 hours, or so.

    Only 80%? How about we add short gray hair? With a young man (14 years old) who wears a Fedora and listens to the Beatles constantly? I know! I'll wear my bright yellow Jegs Hat! You can't miss it!

    Probably Saturday also. I know what you look like so you won't be hard to find! If I see you, I'll say hi!
