It is not a 10-meter amateur radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TRE-2617 have single sideband?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It operates on AM and FM; USB and LSB are not included. Both radios must use the same channel and mode to communicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich microphone comes with the TRE-2617?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Ranger SRA-198 noise-cancelling hand microphone is included. The radio uses a standard four-pin microphone connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a Driver Extreme DRX-6560 microphone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The DRX-6560 uses standard Cobra-style four-pin wiring compatible with this radio. The audio combo adds this microphone and retains the included Ranger microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect an external speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Connect a standard CB external speaker to the EXT.SP jack. This routes receive audio to the external speaker and mutes the internal speaker. The separate PA.SP jack is for a PA speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it work directly on a 24-volt electrical system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The TRE-2617 is specified for 13.8V DC with negative ground, as used in a nominal 12V vehicle system. Do not connect it directly to 24V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes SWR protection replace an antenna SWR check?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. SWR protection can interrupt transmission when an antenna-system problem is detected, but it does not replace checking and adjusting the installed antenna with a suitable SWR meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs an antenna included with the radio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The radio-only listing includes the Ranger microphone but not an antenna or antenna coax. The truck-install combo adds an SR-A10 antenna, mirror mount and 18-foot coax.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ranger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67613434282301,"sku":"TRE-2617","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/0674\/1262\/files\/texas-ranger-tre-2617-stryker-sr-a10-truck-install-combo-8314126.jpg?v=1790910789","url":"https:\/\/cbradiosupply.com\/products\/texas-ranger-tre-2617-am-fm-cb-radio","provider":"CB Radio Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
