I just came across a copy of the part 95 rules.

It is a FCC-approved CB radio that can operate on the "freeband"
without any modifications at all. Even the part 95 rules say it's not
a modification.

Finally!!! A FCC-approved CB radio that can legally operate on both
the 27 mhz CB band and the 10 meter ham band.

Since there won't be any modifications made to it,

I guess it might be time to go to Radio Shack.
