The 10 metre band is from 28.0 MHz to 29.7 MHz, however, the lower part is used for Morse, and most FM is done at the upper end of the band. As the old UK CB alocation is regularly spaced, this obviously simplifies matters; the converted rigs still have uniform channel spacings. However, I havn't seen any details of how CB rigs are converted to 10 metres, much less to CB CEPT frequencies. I would imagine that if you just changed a crystal by the correct amount to convert say channel 1 UK on 27.60125 MHz to say channel 1 CEPT NEW on 26.965 MHz, you will get most of the CEPT NEW 40 channels, as their separation is in the most part also 0.01 MHz. However, as some of the new CEPT channels seem to be separated by 0.02 MHz, you would get some extra channels between those that are alocated, at the expense of the last few upper channels.
