Yep, that was my point, I think I was tired when I posted that last time and
it went a bit sideways.. I had a FT-450 non D that had the auto tuner
installed. It was a nice radio, previous owner had the tx opened.. he was a
ham but also did freeband CB... Personally I find it easier to use a real CB
as a CB then mess with a good ham rig. I have a nice Cobra 135xlr for when i
want to do that.. usualy to see if roads are bad..
