Pete, add me to the list of people who would be interested in non Oem controls. Like many peopleI ride with a couple of groups. usually use 1 or 2 channels. can always change off if necessary. I have a used Gl1800 cb. What would the new controls cost? Would they be plug & play? also, is there a CB antenna that would match the original f6b radio antenna? Thanks, ncf6b
