Hello,
How many buttons do you use?
You could multiplex buttons and use less pins in section 3-8.

Hello,
I noticed that some members have their location set in their profile.
I looked in the profile of the new style and could not find it.
I switched to the old style of the forum and could set the location in my profile.

Hello,
The both of you should show your works on what you have done upto now.
Perhaps some verilog tutorials might help:

Hello,
One of the modifications I made to a CB set was using better filters in the IF for more selectivity of the receiver.
The modification consisted of using keramic IF filters and noise-free transistors.
I never used more power than was permitted.

Hello,
In stead of higher transmitterpower, a better antenna would also work.
The ARRL antenna book might have some suggestions:

The 10 meter antennas are close to the CB band.

Hello,
You should also check the local regulations for the use of a CB transmitter.
It can well be that the rules will have a limit on the maximum power.
In Holland where I live the maximum power allowed is 4 Watts FM or 4 Watt PEP for SSB.

Hello,
Digikey states the ON5233 is a RF mosfet.
They don't have it on stock, as it is obsolete.

No specs can be found.
The part seems to be from former NXP now Nexperia.

Hello,
@Harald Kapp said, use a low voltage source.
This is a solid advice.
Direct mains powered equipment will be dangerous and can even be leathal.
As for safety rules, you could have a look at the following page:

Hello,
Is it possible to open the box and post a picture of the inside?
That way we can see where to connect the external power.
The external power would be an 4.5 Volts adapter.
