BTW: does CSP monitor CB?

[KC0UWS]

Just wondering. I know one of my 3A friends has a CB in his cruiser, but not sure of the rest of the troops.

Haven't seen any in the 6B cars, Idaho Springs PD does have them though.

I'd say the only cars that might have them are MCSAP. The policy regarding installing a CB is outdated and drawn out. If your buddy in 3A has one, it's not installed in the car, I know none of the cars up there have them hard wired

Troop: It is mounted next to his seat. It's nothing fancy. The antenna was professionally installed though. BTW: he was a 3Viper unit stationed in 3A.

I know a HAZMAT trooper that has a CB in his vehicle. He was just going to throw it in, but one of the COM guys helped him hard wire it.

Hi Troop, will they allow an amateur rig?

Maybe a handheld rig? Hah I know, just get a Maratrac and have it programed to 2m freqs in addition to local law/fire freqs!

He must have a new car or did it after I left the Troop, and there was only 4 of us on the VIPER team and we've all transferred to other areas. Sometimes I wish I had one, but i'd probably end up turning it off anyway......and I dont know about amateur radio....that's all I need is one more mic to keep track of!

Just curious, if channel 9 is supposed to be for emergencies on the citizens band, who monitors this channel if none of the police have them installed ?

Probably no one, I think it's been replaced with the cell phone, In 9 years i've only been told by a trucker once that he tried calling us on 9 but couldnt get us, so he used his cell phone.

Arapahoe Co. S/O still has CBs in their vehicles.

Well currently, any with the stout black antenna about 24" in length.

Also, within the last 10 years, there were 2 channels unofficially used by them for car to car and supv to supv. on CB
