[Scan-DC] Is Anyone even using CB anymore?

[Blair Thompson]

Years ago, I went to the trouble to install a CB underdash in a car. I took it on one trip. Wow, the language. I uninstalled the CB in no time.

Too bad, because I think CB has to be just about the biggest unused/underused radio resource of them all. I would gladly listen in if it weren't for the linear amps that go to 11 and not ready for prime time language.

 Hi Greg,
 
 CB provides a means to hear the professional drivers who are on the road, and to learn about accidents, locations of speed traps, and suggested detours around traffic jams.
 
 While many drivers will not answer a call from a nondriver, they can be shamed into cleaning up their language with a "Does your mamma know you talk that way on the radio,"
