CB listening

[Tlenzi]

Can anyone tell me if CB frequencies are included in the sentinel software download? If so, where is it located in the "Select service type" menu?

The CB frequencies are in the National Radio Reference database, where you'll also find itinerant frequencies and the like.

Service type is "Other" for CB. I never hear anything on these channels, probably because my antenna isn't designed for 27mhz.

Understand that if your trying to SSB, it wont work.

Thanks to all for your assistance.

Neither are mine but my scanners running telescopic all band antennas do pick up CB transmissions now and then.

I do have a center loaded telescopic that I’ll try. Going on vacation and it would be fun to listen.

If you mean monitoring from your vehicle you could get something like a K40 mag mount or something similar and an adapter to connect the co-ax to your scanner. Even a resonant antenna isn't going to be very good inside of a vehicle.
