Next press [MAN] to get to the CB band mode and move to CH1...press the mic-key and you hear a

"buzz" from the radio (this step is neccesary).

Release the key and press the [MAN] button and BINGO!---you now have 20.000MHz in the display

(you might even hear WWV in Ft. Collins CO, there).

To transmit, just press [SPLIT] until the "split" is off of the display and you're good to go!

(Caveat: you can't move from the jumped-to frequency without defaulting to 21.000MHz and you

can't save the frequency to a memory).

Using this math trick, you can jump ANYWHERE from 18.6251MHz to 36.1049MHz (yes, you can

go up using the "+split" function).

Important information BEFORE you buy a new 2970DX !!

Hello, and thanks for this site. I would like to offer some insight into the RCI-2970DX

UNMODIFYABLE Model. (this may be the "Blue Dot" version, as shown above)

There is two NEW types.

ONE is an EXPORT sold to dealers who offer it for sale, and the Second one is a Model sold to be

used as US for Ham Radio ONLY and this one is the unmodifyable one.

It doesn't have the pigtail for the module for 11 meters nor do the pins behind the front do anything to

make it go to the 11 meter band.

I know that many have bought this unit expecting to do the mod later and found out to late that this

radio would not go to 11 meters.

I was ONE that this happened to. I would hope that this could be cleared up and save a lot of time and

money if only the person buying this radio did his or her homework before buying the 2970DX.

Thanks again for this Site.
