Hello,
I have been checking the mail on channel 19 for the pass 3 weeks and started wondering if highway patrols listen to channel 19?

Nightlinks,
Most State Police if they still have CB's in the vechiles will monitor "Challel "9" the Emergency Channel for emergencies or road side assistance.

from the size of thier antennas i think they
might be on 2 meters or 440.thier antennas
are way too short for cb.but if they did use
cb probaly would use ch.9

Dale - their are not on 2m or 70cm. In fact one Police Dept recently got busted and fined for illegal use of the 2m ham band.
Here, they monitor 17, 19 and ch 9. Remember to monitor you do not need a resonant antenna. yes one may help, but it isn't required.

Dale then one of two things is happening. 1) they are running illegal and need to be reported to FCC - along with dates times and any ids,location etc, or 2) your scanner is picking up an image frequency.
Have somebody else check with a different type of receiver and if they get it too, try to record the transmissions, so that can also be passed onto FCC.Send a copy to ARRL as well.

I saw a video on youtube where the police were chatting ilegally and someone recorded them and turned them into the FCC and they were forced to remove the radios from their vehicles.

I don't know about anywhere else, but my family works for State police and local county sheriff. They don't and haven't had cb equipment in their units for years and years and probably don't care. They have dozens of different frequencies to monitor and listening to trucker dribble would be very difficult. |

Here in Colorado the State patrol has been on 800 DTR for years and now the rest of the public safety agencies are joining them. Virtually all VHF and UHF will be gone within 1 to 2 years. As I am a technician for one of the companies that is involved with this change over, I see all vehicles from all agencies. Needless to say, not very many CB's are used, but there are a few. A couple of Sheriff Deputies and K9 units have them in their vehicles and told me they actually use them to catch drunk drivers. I think in some of the real rural areas of our county people may use them to communicate with each other and avoid DUI stops and things like that. The State Patrol uses them on special task force vehicles but not on regular marked units. I believe that most agencies will allow an officer to install one on their vehicle if they want to as long as they purchase it and install it themselves. But every time I have turned one of these CB's on in a vehicle, they are always on channel 19. By the way, all of the CB's I have seen in a law enforcement vehicle have been the little cheap 40 dollar-buy it at the auto parts store-kind.

In Arkansas very few state police use cb but ALL D.O.T. HWY police do have them in the cruiser but weather or not they use them...Some do some don't. I drive a log truck and we get checked quite often for weight and permits and they usually have it on but turned down. Everyone of them are Uniden 510xl's.
