OK. I don't listen to my CB often, only during
emergencies, but when I do I usually scan all
40 channels and I only notice the noise on the

23 channel radios were more easily modified
than the newer radios.


You're a little out of date, Frank. Almost nobody uses modified CB radios
anymore. Instead, most CB'ers running illegal equipment today use so-called
"imported radios" - radios very easily modified for out of band use.
