I'm learning as I go -- and ran across a site with some interesting schematics and was hoping to get some input from others. The site, as I understand it; is pretty much "dead" as a business - as the guy is no longer producing kits .
(Just an aside, the way I ended up at cbcintl was a recommendation for "The Channel Guard" - but it's not being made anymore; but while I surfed his site....)
While I understand this 1st one is illegal in the US, it's an "FM Converter" Can something like this really work? While it seems I would need equipment (and ability to use them) to align it properly -- this seems like a cool project: FM3 FM Converter Schematic for CB Radios
The next is a roger beep -- My car has one built in; but the base station does not -- and would like to say "I built it" vs buy one -- especially since they seem expensive and/or are "5 beeps" or something else ... I know not everyone likes them -- but I'd like to build one

seems like a good candidate as any -- only what about "TX 'low on transmit'" -- wouldn't it be the other way around ? the line goes high when transmitting?
The last one is something he's calling a "dynamic speech processor" -- and he claims it's not a "modulation kit" -- in laymans terms -- does that do what it claims? Dynamic Speech Processor (DSP) for CB Radios or is it just another modulation/swing kit?
be kind -- I'm new & just out to have a bit of fun and try to learn something along the way -- If I build one of these things and they don't work; no biggie -- if they fry the radio -- no biggie -- I have a few radios that work and I got fairly cheap just for this purpose.
