It is now 37 years or so since CB 27/81 day.
That is a long time!
Once the importers sorted out a few things there were the ICOM 1050 and such like 40ch transceivers which could be modified for 10m FM. They typically cost about £25 as I recall from the Edgware Road and similar.
After a few years 10m FM actually had some users - people modified the rigs in various ways, mixer crystal changes, pulse swallow counters etc+ etc. I forget.
How is the band today? Is anyone still on? I hear nothing except when there is DX.
I am tying to decide what to with this FM10D Cambridge which was discussed 2 years ago here.

It works but it is on useless frequencies due to the available crystals.
I have now done enough work on a PIC+Si5351 VFO to make it 10m FM full tunable. The question - is that worth doing or should I rewrite the code by -2MHz and use it for a CB monitor?
Maybe I could auction it like that with all the TX guts ripped out ...(not a serious suggestion)
