Greetings
just letting any Hams out there know that you can have 70cms and uhf cb all in one radio.
To do this run the "maker adjust software" that comes with your programing software and with a signal generator, you can move the radio between 400 - 500mhz
By running this software you direct connect the control of the radio with the comport on your PC. This enables band pass filters etc to be swept thus tuning the radio for different parts of the uhf band. You can also adjust power and deviation etc in real time.
This works with almost all Icom Commercial Land Mobiles and is the easiest to use of all the tuning software for other brands
Then it is just a matter of adding the extra channels, I have modified quite a few now for ham Radio use.
** word of warning if you do not understand radio engineering you will get yourself into all sorts of trouble with this software as changing parameters without knowing what you are adjusting could brick your radio **
cheers Tubby

While it may work on the ham bands after being modded, it's doubtful it would still be legal for use if UHF CB.

Hi Peter
yes you do have a point as hams while not needing type approval ,ie home brew radios, in order to operate on UHF CB
you do require a type approved radio for this purpose.
However there are many hams happy to use this setup as it is.
As as for my position i am just a pure experimenter and enjoy playing with this stuff
