that is 100% correct dude...having a mobile scanner is a nono here...in some places having a scanner at all is a nono.

thought so, but i also seen a letter by the atny general that defined a "mobile installation" just gotta find it.

i personally think its crap that we cant have them. just like alot of the other laws they prevent the law abiding citizen from using them. such as these proposed gun laws.

I have a handheld Uniden that I use when I go to NASCAR races...LOL

it looks like a cb and i leave it off 99% of the time
and as long as there isnt any police channels in the bay your fine.
but you may need a ham op licence

Does the fiberglass cap on your rig throw off the SWR's on your CB?

I have a k40 whip mounted to the center of my tool box. CB is a Cobra with PA and 100watt PA horn. With it tuned longest distance was 50ish miles on HWY. I have picked up a SC trucker when I was Orlando....MADE ME GO MMMMMMM did i really hear that or is that even possible.

i havent really checked them since i have a 102" which is a 1/4(i think) wave length, so it doesnt have to be tuned or anything, though i think i may need to add a ground strap cause i dont pick up as much as i should, if i could find a 1' section of coax, id be able to put my swr meter in and check it out. but funds have prevented me from doing so. hopefully in the next week or so ill be able to check it out.
