I have not yet been able to receive any 11 or 6 meter transmissions from a 5 Watt transmitter unless it is within about 100 feet away. And that is with an external antenna. Frank WRONG! WE have tried 11 meters, not that we want to listen to it, but it worked well. Heard some truckers off the interstate about 5 miles away (the interstate from our location). You're exaggerating if you say you can hear truckers 5 miles away. It's well documented that the CB band on the 95 is near useless. Under a mile is all you can expect with this. Unless all your truckers run big linears ? Look, I'm reporting what I hear... I know the distance from the interstate to here. What the truckers are using I have no idea. I'm not in the damned truck with them. NOR do I KNOW them. They're going to and fro on the interstate, how the hell would I know who they are or what they use? That is such an asinine statement, It is known that SOME truckers at least run linears or modified 10 meter radios. Whether all do, I DO NOT KNOW. The man stated he couldn't hear a CB at 5 watts more than 100 feet away with his Pro 95. I CAN.. so what is the big freaking deal? Maybe we got lucky and got two good units. My service monitor shows them to be receiving better than the book lists them at in sensitivity. Since I can't prove it to you any other way, I'm not going to argue this point any further. IT IS RIDICULOUS to even try. I don't give a flying SCREW if you believe me or not. I KNOW what I KNOW. Who are you to call me a liar when you 're not here to prove otherwise? And to say I'm exaggerating is exactly what you're doing - calling me a liar. I'm not even going to waste any more time on this stupid thread. G.W. |

I didn't buy the scanner to listen to "truckers" OR anything else on CB. I was merely relating "MY" experience with the reception. I wouldn't give a **** if the thing went dead on CB so long as everything else I want to hear - comes in. I'm into Public Service. CB chatter is not on my list of interests. I have CBs here sitting here collecting dust for several years. That is how interested I am in CB. To me it is trash, but that is my personal opinion. I'm not saying others shouldn't be there. Whether the unit was able to even be programmed for CB - let alone receive it well - did NOT influence my purchase of the Pro 95 one way or another. IF YOU bought the Pro 95 just for that, you may have wasted good money. IF you're not happy with the unit, TAKE IT BACK! How hard is that to figure out? No one is twisting your arm to keep it if bought or to buy it if you were contemplating it. I'm happy with my purchase and that is all that matters to me. END OF DISCUSSION from my end. G.W. |

m... That's good because most of the discussion has been coming from your ass end. Are you as big a peckerhead in real life as you are here? __ ( ) |_ | __|_ |__ _( \ _/ ) ( \_)( (\/ \_) \ \ | ) ) (_ / | | Do your self a favor, stick that finger up your ass and rotate it. I reported the results "I" got. I can't help it if they were better than the other person is reporting to get. I can't prove it to you, so you'll just have to accept it. If you don't want to, that's fine too. I don't give a good F*&K. It means nothing to me. If you don't like the truth, then don't ask for it. The only peckerheads in here are you! ASS HOLE. Get a life. I gave a report based on facts HERE. What any one else acquires, I can't help. AGAIN - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE UNIT, DO NOT BUY IT. IF YOU DID, TAKE IT BACK. I DON"T GIVE A GOOD ****. MY SCANNER WORKS FINE AND THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT. I didn't come here to be insulted and mocked. I reported what I know to be the truth. If you don't like it TOO DAMNED BAD. G.W. |
