Hi Guys.
long time no squawk on here!
Jim here from the uk, just bought a Realistic HTX-10 on Ebay before reading the reviews - which don't look good on the modification front.
Can i or can't i mod it for 25-29Mhz coverage, or should i just relist it back on ebay and look for something else? (i was after a galaxy saturn with the counter on the front for use in my van mobile).
Comments please!!

Re: Realistic HTX-10 11 Meter mod.
If you have a very early radio with the Albrecht AE485 MCU then you can convert it to 11meters, it is just the same has the Albrecht AE485. in any case it is not a nice radio. If you need a radio with a frequency counter look for SS158EDX as it will have all you need and more.

thanks rick. yeah i knew these rigs werent fabulous but it was only for the van and they are quite small - anyway its academic now becuase i sold it on ebay yesterday and got all my money back, so i'm looking out for an edx, saturn, vr9000 or similar.
Also i am bidding on a midland 7001, whats the opinion on those? Its the verion with the nice 5 digit counter built into the front, with am/fm/ssb

IMO stay away from VR9000 and Midland, they are ok as a base radio but do not like being used as mobile.
