converting single band CBs.

As someone already said, CB is quiet in some areas - so it may
be wise to check before spending too much.
Avoid eBay, equipment sells for far more than it is worth on there.


There are a few Web sites that have information available. This one
is the best...
http://www.citizensband.radiouk.com/
(I may be a little biased, as it's my site)

But, if you want the second best, you could try this site...
http://www.open-channel.co.uk/


I am sure that some of the others on the group could point you to other
useful CB Web sites that are nearly as good :~)
