Increase the squelch when it stops until it moves on.Anyway i can fix this?
is it possible to add CB channels to a scanlist
And it will work, for AM only. You won't be able to understand SSB traffic. And without an antenna resonant on 11M, don't expect to hear a great deal.Yes, using EZscan you can import the CB channels. They are found under NATIONWIDE, then AGENCIES.

Interesting, I never thought about that before (the lack of SSB) on the scanners. I wonder why that is, why don’t they add SSB decode ability? Seems like it would be easy... just filter 1/2 the bandwidth.... ?
All scanners are receivers, but not all receivers are scanners...
That said, the word "Receiver" in this context usually refers to a radio that, while it may scan, is not used primarily as a scanner, but as a communications receiver. They are more intended to be used to twirl around a range of channels or frequencies, scanning is usually limited in features, speed or other capabilities. The AOR 8200, AR8000, and AR3000 are examples of Communications Receivers, as is the Icom R7000, R10, R20 and R8500. Communications Receivers often have SSB capabilities, and large tuning knobs, but usually do not include trunking.
"Scanners" are primarily designed to check a specific set of pre-programmed channels for activity. Think BC780 or Pro96 for example. Many scanners have trunking, PL, or other features, but often they do not have a large tuning knob and usually don't have SSB.
Not true! You need to add a beat frequency oscillator (BFO) to reinsert the carrier frequency and be able to fine tune the frequency.Interesting, I never thought about that before (the lack of SSB) on the scanners.

Exactly and that's why it's very unlikely we'll ever see a scanner with SSB. Not enough are going to be that interested to create the demand. But there are some pretty cheap SSB CB radios around so if anyone really wants to listen in, I'd say that would be the way to go...probably work a lot better than a scanner even for AM, not to mention a lot of portable SW receivers that cover 11M and have a BFO.Not true!
