   Yeah, the FM end of 10m might be tough for some CBs, the lower end is usually   
   straightforward, especially in SSB radios, where you can often change the   
   transmit mixer crystal to get to 28 MHz.   
      
   However, once modded, that radio is no longer legal on 27 MHz, even if the   
   original band is left intact.  It's effectively a ham radio at that point. :)
