Not sure if this has been covered but still figured it's worth contributing in it's own thread.

I am simply demonstrating this modification for educational purposes only!

Conversion to 11 meters is pretty simple but care is needed due to the proximity of wiring and connectors near the area being worked on.

On the channel selector board next to j4 you will find a solder blob that's jumping two pads. Simply remove the blob and voila you now have the 11 meter band.

Band A - HI is your cb band

Nice, thanks for taking the time.

Figured it might come in handy to others.

I'll add more pictures of the adjustment locations and amplifier section in the next days or as time permits.

If anyone thinks there's something else of importance that I can add let me know before it gets closed up.
