dose anyone still use cb radios around Monmouth County

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Reference visual always helps.
Big trucks not to be found on G-S Parkway, parts of NJ I’ve been, so look to other roads.
Quick map reference is that 195 and State 18 is likeliest for deliveries.
— Sea & River Ports, Rail Junctions, and major highway junctions.
No reason vacationers wouldn’t be using, so a scanning radio would help. Festivals, car shows, fishing tournaments, etc, where large numbers need help parking.
Local drivers (bulk haulers) may deliver hundreds or even thousands of loads to a construction project over time. From a quarry or railhead.
If your setup is mobile then an earliest daytime drive might give you an idea of how well you’re receiving if you can find bulk haulers at work just prior to dawn.
Moving or changing a stationary antenna optimized for local, same thing.
Local drivers before sunrise. Locals chatting after work just past sunset.
Follow-up with descriptions a help to others getting a start.
New Jersey in general (given thread title) it’s concentrated on the upper NJTP.

Why not tune around and find out? You'll be sure to pick up something on Channel 6 (aka "Super Bowl") just about 24/7/365
