Question
i just installed a CB radio in my celica and i wanted to know if i could listen to cop activity on it... any advice would be great...
Answer
Sorry, Scott, that would be a big NO good buddy.
Police use different frequencies, usually in the VHF band. If you had a scanner capable of listening on those frequencies, then you probably could listen to local police activity.
CB radio uses frequencies in the 27Mhz region and AM (Amplitude Modulation) or SSB (Single Sideband) signals. Police often use frequencies around 150Mhz and FM (Frequency Modulation) signals.
