Probably, converting it to CB is the best thing you could do, to make it even partially useful. Although, as everyone has pointed out, using the converted unit is illegal.
But, be that as it may, I find it curious that they bother with all the lies about being a 10 Meter Amateur Radio. This radio was never meant for operation in the 10 Meter amateur band. How many ham transceivers do you know of that have a channel switch, echo, and PA? And only included AM and FM? Other than converted CB transceivers.
From the info I could find on the unit, out of the box it is listed as covering 28.145 to 28.575 MHz. 28.190 - 28.300 MHz is a beacon band. That's good for checking propagation but pretty useless for making contacts. The rest of the coverage area, 28.300 to 28.575 MHz, is SSB. The unit doesn't transmit/receive SSB. What exactly is a ham suppose to use it for? Well, other than parts.
IMHO, don't waste your time with that unit. Sell it and get something better. Maybe even a ham license.
