As for modifying ham rigs to operate on CB, believe it or not, *most* hams
don't even care if you do that; I don't!


Ummm, Jerry: Wouldn't that cause even MORE interference? Most amateur
xcvrs operate at 100 watts or more, rather than the 4w AM or 12w PEP
permitted under Part 95, and they xmit everywhere; including 10
meters, of course. And they certainly can be retrofitted with Roger
Beeps and echo boxes, et al, yes?

So you're saying that some radios should be banned outright, while
others are OK to modify? How will this keep "intruders" out of the 10m
band?

I submit that it would change nothing, and would not benefit you at
all in your crusade to keep the intruders out of the ham bands
(specifically 10 meters). In reality, it could make the perceived
problem worse!
