I have one as well but mine s a Single Side Band 10 meter radio and CB combined. We use ours in conjunction with handheld units when camping in the forest to communicate. Not so much on the road. Hard to distill the gibberish from factual information.
It is not legal to transmit on the CB bands with a radio that is capable of transmitting outside of band. In other words, there is no legal radio that can transmit on the CB frequencies and the 10 meter amateur bands. All CB radios must be type accepted by the FCC; the radio you describe is obviously not.
I took the CB out of my truck because I don't have any interest in talking on it. I do have a CB in my offroad truck because other offroaders use it.
Find us an Amateur Radio without a MARS/CAP mod NOT performed. Seems stupid (IS stupid) to not be able to TX/RX on the one band with millions of radios actually in use.
We all appreciate Radio license holders to obey the rules. Even if only in word, and not deed.
