Thanks. One question? I've been scanning through those freq's and
never get nothing. Wal-Mart is only about 5 miles from me. From
reading these Cobra's can reach up to about 10 miles. Any idea why I'm
not hearing anything.

Ten miles is hype. Even 5 miles would be hype. Maybe a little more
than 1 mile, but probably not much more.

Is there a way that Wal-Mart could possibly have
them blocked from being heard?

No. Bring a scanner into the store and you'll see what frequency
they're on. Then you can see how fast the signal falls into the noise
as you drive down the road.
