Pro-95
 

Is it safe to say that I will be able to receive channel 19 truckers
when driving on the interstate? That is one of the reasons I bought
the scanner. Also, I seem to have trouble with the scanner stopping
on frequencies that are motorola trunked in a bank. When I manually
step through the channels I hear transmissions but when it is in scan
it rarely ever stops on them. What am I doing wrong?

The antenna that comes with it is lousy on CB freqs. I used my pro-93 with
a CB antenna and it received them great.

Triple check all the frequencies in the trunk bank. I had this problem and
found that I had an incorrect frequency.

After thinking about it for awhile I thought the same thing. The
scanner
antenna is definately not even close to a CB walkie-talkie antenna. I
figured if I change the antenna it should pick up 11 meters fine. I
tested the scanner with a CB I have and it did receive, albeit I was
transmitting within 20 feet of the radio. Also, the other day I
managed to receive one of the channel 6 massive watt stations from who
knows were.

Thanks.
