CB Radios Answers
here's the deal I just bought a Galaxy DX99V 10 meter radio which has been peaked and tweaked for an output of about 200watts, will a 10 meter CB radio operate on Ham freqencies? it does have the option to use PA,FM,AM,USB,LSB. and also I'm afraid I'm going to ruine it trying to set up the SWR because I don't know how far the antenna is out of calibration, and I don't want to damage it when i'm trying to set the SWR. I'm using it as a base station, but I need somone to help me out before I mess with the settings and ruine my 300$ radio. it has a frquency counter if this helps. here's the link http://www.www.premiere-electronics.net/ store/galaxydx99v.html any help would be apriciated.
Oh boy...where to start?... This isn't meant to sound "preachy," it is just to let you know where you stand, because by the sounds of it, you aren't too experienced with CB radios...
First, the "CB" you purchased is NOT a CB at all, and is illegal to use in the US (Not sure where you are located.)
Second, Yes, this unit will cover most of the 10-Meter Ham band in it's "stock" state, and that is it. If it's been modified, it will cover the above, the CB band, as well as MANY US Government frequencies that can get you into some MAJOR hot water if you are caught transmitting on them.
Third, if they told you it puts out 200 watts, then pulled a pretty good scam on you, that apparently you fell for. Good luck getting much more than the stock 10watts AM/FM or 25 Watts SSB...
As far as SWR goes, if they company didn't massively screw the radio up with their "Peak and Tweak," you shouldn't have a problem keying into a mis-tuned antenna for a few seconds at a time while attempting to get your SWRs down...
Oh, and one last thing. While the SWR feature of the radio can be helpful in letting you know if there is problem with the SWR *LATER ON*, don't rely on it to set your antenna. Get a GOOD SWR meter from somewhere and hook it inline. The unit on the radio works fine to let you know if there is a problem, but they are not all that accurate, and would not make for a good choice to do the initial tuning with.

Can you operate a 10 meter radio on CB bands without any modifications? ( I am not asking if it is legal or not, I just want to know) If not then what modifications are required? If you are listening to cb channels on a 10 meter radio can you receive signals farther than you could listening on a simple cb radio?
Yes you can send and receive signal to and from a normal cb with a ten meter radio. No mods required. A quality ten meter radio, like Galaxy brand, CAN "pull" in distant signals much farther than a regular cb. And, just as a sidenote, you are supposed to get a ham operator license for a ten meter, but i've yet to meet the truck driver that has one!
Hey I need to know what I should do! I want to start my hobby of by getting a CB Radio.(I want a HAM, But I dont got the cash.)I want to know what is the difference between a CB and a 10-Meter radio.Whic is better?

you can get a nice ham for $169 which is cheap for new radios but if ya want a real good buy be on a reg cb on channel 19 around truck stops and let them know you are looking sometimes you can get a good bargain , just be safe about it take a friend , do it in a lit place and be sure it works
OK, as mentioned b4 a friend of mine just gave me a Connect 3300 10 meter radio. It has 40ch. hi/lo band, a,b,c,d,e,f Bands. I can hear CB CHs. 1-40. speciallu 19 and the popular local chs. im hearing i gtta have license just to operate this..can sum1 elborate?
You cannot use that radio at all.
That radio is designed for amateur use. You need a license for the amateur radio bands.
While the radio may have the CB channels installed, it is illegal to use any radio on CB, except for a type-accepted radio designed especially for CB.

10 meter mobile antenna question
Watch list because it can be converted to work on 11 meters, but I got this "rig" due to the fact it was dirt cheap and it will fit where I need to mount it in my Grand Cherokee, and this will be my first ( not a real ) ham radio, and NO it is not going to get converted.I have a very good cobra 29 LTD with a 102" whip for cb That "needs to have a shunt fed antenna, and also NO mag base" thingy is at least partially right to some extent. Mag-mounts are just not the best things that ever came along for several reasons. The 'biggy' being that capacitive coupling between vehicle body and antenna to obtain the 'other half' of that antenna. I don't think you should rule...
