I enjoy listening to CB on a RELM HS 200. However
using a CB walkie talkie or mobile CB rig and a real CB antenna will
get two (2) mile reception. The RELM even with a CB antenna
won=92t receive much more. The ICOM IC R-2 , R-5 and Uniden BC 250D wi=
ll receive
CB also Theses scanners allow tuning out of band =93free bander=94
CBers. With a CB antenna the scanner receiver=92s range will go
from several hundred feet (on a rubber ducky stock antenna) to =BE of a m=
ile to
several miles when using a real CB antenna!.

Hi,

Hope this doesn't become flamebait, but I'm wondering if I am able to =

The PRO-94 will not receive the CB frequencies. Most of the high end s=

like the PRO 2006, Icom R10, and the Uniden Beartracker models will rec=

CB band.

The only scanner I've ever owned which has decent sensitivity on the CB=

the Relm HS200. That scanner has been out of production for several ye=

but you might be able to find a used one on eBay or elsewhere on the ne=
