CB to 10 Meter Conversion, Linear Amplifier, Beacon Project

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.

A 10 meter radio is not a CB. 10 meter is an amateur radio requiring licensure, while a CB (11 meter) requires no license.

An FCC Technician Class license is the lowest level license which will permit you to operate (voice) on the 10 meter band.

If you operate a modified CB on the 10 meter band, expect the FCC to come knocking. Amateurs only have so much of the frequency spectrum allotted to them, they protect their turf.

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!

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
