Default COBRA 148GTL on 10 meters

From: (john james)
I have an original Cobra 148GTL CB Radio. I know that i can modify it to
operate in the 10Meter band by switching the crystal to a 11.6908MHz
crystal.
is anybody familiar with this mod? If so, how do i determine what
frequency each channel will be at? will i need to purchase a freq.
countert o determine what freq. will go with what channel? Also, will my
102: whip work with 10M, or rather will it give me a close enough SWR to
suffice, or will i need to purchase a new antenna?
Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There are channel conversion charts out there so you can roadmap your
radio freqs.
The antenna will work on 10. Maybe not at optimum performance, but it
will work.

I suppose if you call 5 inches too long acceptable without a tuner, it will.
In real life, the radio will not be happy.
