Those only transmit FM. There are 10m FM repeaters out there that work great, but the majority of the 10m traffic is SSB.TYT9800

It supposedly receives AM 11m (CB) from what I gather and probably could be Modded. It is a good point though. With a good Antenna for 10m this thing can get some distance on 10m Simplex.Those only transmit FM. There are 10m FM repeaters out there that work great, but the majority of the 10m traffic is SSB.
It does stink that an affordable "all band" transceiver doesn't exist. The least expensive way to get on 10m is to pickup an "export CB" with a VFO, and clip the little wire that limits it to only 11m.I'm not sure someone could find a better price to performance/coverage radio.
Agreed. If you find one let me know. I am trying to decide upon the TYT Quad Band, or multiple units for different bands independently. I like to have the option of a Mobile or Base depending upon the day, I don't see myself getting an all band QRP as there is no redundancy, again. Two is one, one is none.It does stink that an affordable "all band" radio doesn't exist.

I like the Ole' Ranger stuff, price point is what kills it. Again the TYT is $100 less and provides similar options less the A.M. Band+SSB.Ranger / RCI 2950 or 2970 is a great all mode simplex 10/11 meter mobile radio
Not many hams only have one radio. Just like how many people on TGT only have one gun?Food for thought. If your daylight to dark multi-band do everything radio breaks and you send it off for repair you are off the air.
Exactly why I was looking at other options for me. Two is one, one is none.Food for thought. If your daylight to dark multi-band do everything radio breaks and you send it off for repair you are off the air.
I'm looking at setting up my Kenwood TS590S here at the house. I don't have much room for a vertical or a long wire antenna. Im thinking an end fed half wave might work for 10 - 40 meters.

Maybe, tell me more. Power output etc.TO ALL,
IS ANYONE other than me interested in a DEDICATED 10 METER FM rig that covers ALL of the 10M REPEATERS & 4-5 SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES, in a "box" that is small/tough enough to be installed in a car/PU??
I "have a line on" a "good sized pile" (from an out-of-state ISD) of MIDLAND LOW-BAND/LOW-SPLIT Land Mobile Radios, that are "field programmable" & for about 25.oo each plus S&H.
(I'm GUESSING that including S&H plus paying to have the radios programmed, that the "out of pocket" cost per unit would NOT exceed 50.oo each.)
FWIW, in my experience the "old-school" COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL radios are MUCH TOUGHER/LONGER LIVED than "conventional ham gear".

I would like to know more and price does not hurt.Texas Lone Ranger,
That's all that I know as of yet, except the radios are supposedly 50w output.
(I do NOT even know how many units that the ISD has.)
IF enough people are interested, I'll dig into the situation more. = "My source" said that the ISD wants to "sell all or none".
(FYI, in 2008, my brother & I "brokered" a similar deal for Northern VA, WV & MD hams on a lot of > 50 KENWOOD LOW-BAND/HIGH-SPLIT/42-50 MHZ LMR units, programmable to 6M from a KY county's VFD & after everything was done the "out of pocket" for each radio was about 29.oo each. = PRETTY CHEAP for a 6M mobile with 70W & 50+ channels, imo.)
yours, satx
