Converted 10M vs. 11M

[Shvlhead]

Hello, me again.



I'm looking at the Copper site and there are some 10m radios in my price-range. Copper will tune and convert to 11m for $30.



Am I better getting a 10m and converting it to 11m, or should I just stick with the Galaxy 959?



Will a converted 10m boot up in 11m mode? What about channel selection, will it go automagically to the corresponding frequency on 11m (CB)?



If going with a converted 10M, which should I get:



Galaxy DX 33/44/55/66/or77



VOYAGE VR 9000



MAGNUM 257



Mirage RCI 2950



If FM any use on the 11m band? What is CW and what's the difference between FM and CW (is it carrier wave???)?



RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE

OK your best investment would be in the Magnum 257 (I'm sure many, if not all of the people here will agree with me on that), get it converted you will be able to get to the normal cb channels just fine. CW is the mode which is used to communicate through use of morse code and FM is rarely used on CB. I hope that helps and feel free to ask more questions

The 2950 DX is a good choice as well, both the magnum and the RCI are dual finaled and both radio must be converted, just because the RCI gets 10 and 12 meter it skips over the 11 meter band without being modified. Hope this helps!
