Yep, that was my point, I think I was tired when I posted that last time and 
it went a bit sideways..  I had a FT-450 non D that had the auto tuner 
installed.  It was a nice radio, previous owner had the tx opened.. he was a 
ham but also did freeband CB...  Personally I find it easier to use a real CB 
as a CB then mess with a good ham rig.  I have a nice Cobra 135xlr for when i 
want to do that..  usualy to see if roads are bad..
