I only use my radio on the trails. I guess there might be a channel, but I would have no clue what it is.

I mainly scan 19 for other people looking to chat. All other channels are pretty random use.

I'll tune in to 19 on road trips and talk to the truckers. I've gotten some pretty great traffic advice from the big rigs on my CB

Yup. Really. Just did a road trip to Vegas and back and got some great updates on a fire that was in the area from drivers that had just passed through the area. Also got two separate traffic updates when accidents slowed things up.
