Hi, I'm new here so don't flame me too bad..

I was looking at sideband radios on ebay and, in addition to SSB radios,
I see SBE. So, now I'm curious as to what the difference is..

Many thanks,

John

It is in reference to a fine boatanchor. Old radio, usually 23 channel
with capability of putting a VFO on it and talking from 26.00-28.550.
I have an SBE Console II for sale. I am slowly getting out of CBing so
would let it go for a decent price. These have am/usb/lsb and will
tweak out to a buncha power going out if youo want to go illegal.

Not to mention that VFO's are also illegal to transmit on with CB
radios, which are only permitted fixed channel transmission.

Not to mention made it to the rain report enforcement logs
for jamming the Toledo repeaters, and has a court ordered head shrink and
felony for child abuse.

Just google up to see what a hypocrite loser he is.

Many thanks all, think I got it now; SBE is a *brand name*.. duh...

JohnM:

Yes, any of the older radios like that work excellently with a VFO and
cover the freebands at the top end of HF quite nicely...

.... a few parts and a general pcb board from radio shack and a guy can
slap together a VFO quite cheaply...

For receiving purposes only a VFO is legal. But then why have a VFO
only on receive?

It's not that much different from an un-locked clarifier anyway. Go too far
and yore on the next channel. (shocking)

and illegal
