CB/FM Radio?

[BenK]

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a CB radio with FM functionality? I know they were popular in the 70s but I can't find anyone still making them.

The reason I'm looking is that I only listen to the radio (no CD's, etc) and was thinking about replacing my stock stereo with this type of CB plus a switch panel below.

Are you talking FM radio receive? ...Or being able to transmit in the CB band in an FM mode?

Receive FM. Transmit/receive CB.

Just making sure because CB is AM.
I have never seen a combo like the one you are describing though.

can't think of any recent manufacturers - IIRC, they were popular in the 70's because only one antenna was used to try to cover all the bands and they were sort of low-profile so they wouldn't get stolen.

not really sure how well they worked, though.

if you have room for a am/fm radio and a switch panel below (double DIN?) you have room to mount a small chassis radio instead of a switch panel. you'll need two separate antennas, but if that's not a big deal, you'll probably get better performance with a dedicated radio and antenna.

Wow, i just tossed an am/fm/cassette/SSB CB combo.
It was sweet back in the day.
You might be able to pick up an old one at a flea market or something.
