Of course this is done to “fool” the law and give CB operators the chance to buy an all mode transceiver with a large frequency span and more power than legal equipment.
These transceivers are very easy to modify to cover 11 and 10 meter as well.
For amateur use the models without fixed channels are quit usefull, although the lowest tuning frequency is limited to 100 hz.
I was able to buy a very nice Alan 9001 for 50 euro. You can also consider a Uniden / President Lincoln or Anytone models.
Qrv for a budget? Get a used CB radio!
Alan 9001 10-11 meter transceiver 26500 - 30 mhz allmode 25 watts.
