something wrong with CB frequencies?
Just cuz they're not hams doesn't mean they should automatically be blocked
from general coverage receivers....
Same reason many general coverage receivers have the 45-50MHZ band in
them...not because there is much there, other then baby monitors and some
older cordless phones but because its just part of the general coverage...

Colin
