Yes, Icom does make some nice CB radios.
My CB
is an Icom 746
My Drake TR7 CB is nice and all but it

a little. My Kenwood 440

440
is for 40 channels.

Boy you assclowns really want to be hams, so
much so you buy ham radios as
well.
Want to bet they slip in to the Ham 10m Ham
band
from time to time using a bootleg call sign.
Tim
Nebo used a mod'ed Yeasu FT-840 to do the same
thing. Boy did he get hot with the denials
when I
brought up the subject that he was using the
rig
on something other than 11m, like bootlegging
on
the Ham HF bands. He even publicly asked about
using the so called "Charlie" frequencies,
used by
airliners over the ocean for long distance
communication, on this very news group.
Now that the sun spots are on the wan the only
DX
these freebanders are going to see "regularly"
will be on the lower Ham HF bands. Since they
don't have any morals about ignoring Part 95
rules
I'm sure that some of them can't resist the
urge
to spin that VFO dial down to a Ham band. All
it
takes is a simple dipole and some coax to get
on
the band for them.
I'll be great sport to see how many
bootleggers
can be ID'ed and busted. Maybe even suggest it
as
a new form of contesting to the ARRL!

What are you using to LISTEN there, Leland?
How about my Yeasu FT-847 multiband multi mode rig
at my apartment, a Icom IC-706MKIIG multiband
multi mode rig in my old van (both rig and van are
being currently replace), and the Yeasu FT-817
multiband multi mode rig QRP rig I use when I'm
out at a work sit and staying in a local hotel.
