Hello,
Does the rci 2950dx have the cb channels like the older rci 2950 version? I mean like channel 1 - 40 in the display instead of 27.xxx

No, I don't believe that it does. Get a printout of the 11 meter frequencies. After awhile you will know them by heart. |

Yes, it does. You press the 'MAN' button and you get channel numbers instead of frequency readout. |

I read some where online that the radio comes with a jumper that i can add it the inside of the radio to add more frequencies to the radio. Does copper does this to the radio with the align & fine tune?
Also when i buy the radio does it have the 11 meter cb channel straight out of the box? Or do i have to do the jumper thing to get the cb frequencies?

Question #1 ~ Does copper does this to the radio with the align & fine tune?
Answer #1 ~ Yes
Question #2 ~ Also when i buy the radio does it have the 11 meter cb channel straight out of the box?
Answer #2 ~ No
Question #3 ~ Or do i have to do the jumper thing to get the cb frequencies?
Answer #3 ~ Yes you will need the Expansion module / chip to get the CB / 11 meter band.
Personally I would recommend getting the OPTION (Expand, Align & Tune) at the time of purchase that way everything is covered under your warranty.
Hope this help's,

Oh so the expand really means that copper will do the expansion for the 11m CB.
I won't be able to afford the 2970N2 but if i had the money i would hold out to get the basestation 2995 
I'm go to get the 2950 because i had it in the 90's but never really got to use it like i can now.
Thanks Everyone!

On a 2950 that has the mod for CB (11 meter), where would I find the selector to switch back and forth to 10 meter? |
