Many scanners cover 27 MHz so folks can have Ch 19, 27.185 Mhz AM
in a memory of a mobile scanner in the car. So they can keep track of
traffic.
If you put CH 19 in a priority channel, this will emulate a CB radio and
allow
instant access to road hazards, that may be broadcast over CB! One of my
favorite saves is " ladders in the travel
lane" that appear to have fallen off a truck, on the interstate
highways here in New England. Once you get a feeling for the limitations
of CB radios and understand them then CB monitoring is OK.

Really? I'll have to turn mine on and tell all the truckers on channel
19 and the guys that talk on channel 21 around here to remove their
radios since no one uses CB anymore. "Jeff"

Nobody, and I mean nobody uses CB anymore. We have
one of theseclubs in our area and I think they have been
waiting 20 years to save somelives, and none yet. What does
this have to do with scanning?
