Any of you girls still use CB radio?

If i understood correctly, your old radio is now going to pick up more interference from FM capable units??

I used to manage a fleet of fire tankers and tenders out west for a private timber company. Radios are used to keep from meeting other vehicles on steep, winding, mountain logging roads. I remember picking up HAM signals from central America on clear summer days. It was a little annoying and I guess could be dangerous, but I don't think having to buy new radios would be very popular especially if folks learn why.....seems kinda sleezy and potentially dangerous in the short term.

You didn't pick up ham (radio amateurs) on cb. You picked up illegal operators, or simply in many cases, simply "skip" from radio propagation which you cannot control. That is one of the problems with cb
1....It was created from an amateur band which IS VERY MUCH susceptible to skip
2.....For higher VHF or UHF frequencies in 1959ish when CB was created, which would NOT be affected by skip, was expensive to build IE commercial FM police/ fire/ commercial equipment.
