That is the sole intent for the CB companies advocating for FM. They have seen a decrease in sales over the years and determined FM abilities will reboost sales for those specific companies.

Won’t this make CB more relevant through increased capabilities?
Marginally. Question is also will they make am/fm mode rigs, or fm only. Doesn't matter, I dispensed with all but one basic cb radio to comm with other trail buds

Well not technically legal for 10m/12m rig is able to.
My Anytone AT6666 can do AM/FM/SSB.
Those that don't know 11M unlock is literally 3 button pushes. With my MFH 1610, I can tune between 10m/11m with an allen key.
More importantly, channel bleed is going to be horrible. 1/2 the 38+ crew are using SSB the other half AM. Can't wait till FM comes into play it is a mess.

The Europeans have enjoyed the FM band for a long time on their CBs.
It's about time this would happen here too.
Another step towards making HAM license-free.

So does anybody know when we might see this change in the radios brought to market?
I'm sure the over-seas crap will show up at some point. I think that Uniden, etc., will wait it out.
