tech question on old walkie talkies
Hi everyone;
Perhaps someone out here can answer a question. Back in the 1960's I
got my first pair of walkie talkies (100mw, with transmit channel 14).
Anyway, I recall that they seemed to receive all the channels at the
same time (23 at the time),although equipted to only transmit on 14.
That is, I could hear my friends on 14, plus seem to hear truckers on
19, and anyone else in the neighborhood no matter what channel they
were on! This was not bleed-over, but actualy reception on all the
channels of the CB band.
I realize that crystal control on future walkie talkies and CB's at
the time solved that (before PLL), but can someone tell me what a
person would need today to receive all the CB channels at once? I
think it's rather a neat feature, to be able to monitor all 40
channels at the same time, like my small 100mw walkie talkies seemed
to receive all 23 back then. Just a thought! Thanks!
-Stephen
