It's possible that the same display is used for other radios
that use FM. FM is not intended for use on the CB band,
but some folks do use it there. They do not use a regular CB
for this. You can't get FM on your AM/SSB radio because the guts of the
radio
is a very different beast indeed.
Although it might have been a good idea for the FCC to
to make use of FM on 27MHz. It would have prevented
"skip" and that would have made them happy.

DUDE.....you are clearly clueless! You have NO idea how things work, "SKIP"
is skip...doesnt care what the modulation/deviation is PERIOD.(AM) broadcast
band at night skips, Ham(FM) 10,6 and 2 meters skips during the day,Ham
(SSB) skips on 80/75/40/30/20/17/15 Meter bands day and night. Television
(VSB) skips during the day in the summertime.
The UK operators have FM service (for years) on the 26.965-27.405Mhz.
BTW..it's VERY easy to Phase modulate a AM CB rig to convert it to Narrow
FM. Adding a FM detector to the receiver is also easy, so the "GUTS" are not
all that differant. Interferance between FM radios is a lot less due to the
needed "Capture Ratio" .
Quit handing out "Facts" until you know what your talking about Barry..you
**** off the rest of us that DO know how radio works.
