Operation between CB Radio and two way radio?
So... i've come to find out that it is not possible to communicate between a cb-radio (Cobra 19 IV) and my two-way motorola radios (MC220R).... is this just like that?... just plain impossible? or maybe there is a workaround that i haven't found on the internet? 
thank you!
thank you!

But still have a badass PA
and the chance to find someday someone with a cb radio (they're not common in my country)Thanx

I feel ya
I have 4 walkie talkies (FRS) and the CB for when I go out to play I have either or and the extras are for friends who don't have them I want to be prepared. 2 in each door pocket.
