Steve,
A "10 meter" radio is one that covers the 10 meter band,
28.000 to 29.700 Mhz, an amateur or 'ham' radio band. It's
usually a name given to a radio to get around the 'out of
band' frequency or power limitations of CB radio. Basically
just a modified CB radio. They are sometimes called an
'export' radio, same reason, to get around the regulations.
Most are no better than the average 'stock' CB radio and some
are considerably worse in performance.
The 240 'gazillion' channels is mostly a gimmik used in
advertising, in other words, "B.S.". Because of the way they
each work, you can put two SSB signals on one channel but only
one AM signal. 'They' want you to believe you're getting 120
channels instead of the 40 that you are really getting. Just
means that the CB industry (legal and not so legal) want to
sell radios and don't care how they do it. When you get right
down to it, the biggest difference between all CB radios is how
they look...

Nice job, Doc.
