I also have a more generic CB set with a 10M mod using a mixer, but that will have to wait until I can search the deepest darkest depths of the cupboard-over-the-downstairs-toilet.

I probably still have a set that was not modified for 10m but instead had a simple tone-squelch/selective calling mod, the XYL had a similar set at home, and I would call her up if I was able to come home for lunch.

Oh how the fowl-mouthed breakers-on-the-side hated us when we didn't reply to them, because we couldn't hear them!
