Mod Wanted: Icom 706 on 11 meters
 

I know this will bring a lot of flak but, I'll explain why I want to do
this.

I'm looking for a way to open up my 706 to 11 meters (a.k.a. Citizens Band)
because the local snow plowers in the area use that band and I work for
them. I've got my 706's mounted in my trucks and I'd rather not mount a CB
radio and another antenna in the trucks.

Drop me an e-mail if you can and let me know if you've ever done this mod.

If my scanner would cover this band, that would be fine but, my mobile
scanners don't cover CB..

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was under the impression the 706 has a general coverage HF receiver,
which should cover 11 meters.

Otherwise, for transmit, the 60 meter mod for the 706 may also cover
other frequenies. You'll, of course, want to crank your 706 down to CB
power levels. Still, it won't be type-accepted or whatever for 11
meters, so it probably won't be legal. Maybe look at getting a couple
of ratshack cb HTs?

Won't ever be legal, but if you do a search on the internet you'll find out how
to do it (if it's doable which I'm sure it is)..most of these radios are mars
capable which will open up the transmit to general coverage..usually with the
snip of a diode..

Good luck es 73's

Paul;

Just apply the mod to open the radio. Do not transmit, it will but
don't. Nothing special is needed to do the mod except steady hands and a
fine soldering iron and pincers.

It doesn't seem quite fair. An ordinary citizen can run CB super power
with little fear of prosecution. OTOH, a ham is likely to lose his
ham license for perfectly legal operation except for type acceptance.

Particularly since the 5WPM code and pre-published multiple choice exams.
Takes very little more effort to become an Extra than to become a CBer.

Gee, Cecil, you're right. Lets just pick the rules
we want to obey and forget the rest. That ought to
be okay...

What does code speed, and Dick Bash have to do with
it? Why not 'male pattern baldness' and dandruf while
you're at it?
'Doc

Approaching 50 years as a ham qualifies me to be a certified curmudgeon.
Ergo, it follows that I may purpose any theory I choose for the state of
today's world.

Dick Bash and No/Slow code are further up on my agenda than male pattern
baldness, your mileage may vary...

Doc;

If you remember Dick started the practice of publishing the FCC
questions and answers quite a few years ago. This, among other reasons,
lead to the FCC adopting the current testing procedure. While publishing
of test questions did not start with the FCC, the FAA has long published
the actual pilot test questions, I do not see any read loss with the
procedure. If a applicant can memorize 600 to 900 questions and the
correct answers more power to them.

In Louisiana, it is illegal for a husband and wife to engage
in oral sex in the privacy of their bedroom. Do you think all
rules are good rules?

Does that mean they must engge in that act in public?

Cecil,
Any excuse will do when you're looking for one. Is
it okay to steal as long as it's under a certain amount?
'Doc

Hmm.. You missed the point.
'Doc

Your 706 should simply tune the CB in receive mode without ANY
modifications.

I have 27185 KHz [Channel 19] programmed into mine [706 MKIIg] and
monitor the interstate traffic as I drive along.

NO MODS NEEDED!!

Heh, heh, guess I should have said, *even* in the privacy of
their bedroom.

Violation of an individual's property rights obviously does harm.
Using an IC-706 at 3 watts AM on a CB frequency does no harm (except
maybe to the FCC's ego).

I break the law every time I drive my pickup to town. There is a law,
circa 1900, still on the books here that requires motorized vehicles
to notify the sheriff before driving to town. Now that you know,
are you going to call the sheriff the next time you drive through
Madisonville, TX?
