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

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.

What are all those voices that I hear on the lower side of channel
38? Tons of people talking. Some claim from New York, Tennessee,
Georgia, Florida..............

Since nobody uses CB anymore, then I'll bet those voices are ALIENS!
Some other planet must be using those frequencies. Nobody here on
earth is. Holy Cow, I talked to one of them one time. I'm going to
be famous. I made contact with an extra-terristrial. Couldn't have
been a human. Funny how well they speak english.

What's the matter? you're old Bearcat III doesn't have 11 meter crystals? Most high end scanners include the CB band, which I
use to assist in monitoring. I haven't saved any lives on the CB, but I do give out alot of directions to lost truckers in my area, what's wrong with that? Just so you know, your negative, do nothing, sit on your ass and whine, comments had nothing to do with scanning, either.....................**** off

Try plugging in your antenna and turning the radio on.

I waited for over an hour for a tow truck once which I called from my
cell phone. I finally remembered my CB packed away. Put up the magnetic
antenna, plugged it into the lighter and in 5 minutes I had 3 trucks
fighting for my business!!!

I've also found monitoring the CB frequencies usefull for avoiding
traffic problems. On top of that, whenever I see a broken down vehical
I put out a call to let everyone know it's there and to hopefully
attract the attention of some help

Oh, and once I was sitting waiting for someone and watched as a fight
broke out on the patio of a bar. I called out on 19 and in 30 seconds
there were 3 cop cars there. I'm not sure if they were listening but
they responded pretty darn fast if it was a regular 911 call!

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.
