radio cb

I'm a security guard and we use two-way radios for communication but I'm going to be getting a CB radio and was wondering if it's possible to use it to talk to a two way radio. Like would it be the same frequency or the same channel as on the two way? Thanks.

Definitely not. CB channels are between 26.965 MHz (channel 1) and 27.405 MHz (channel 40). The majority of two-way communication radios use frequencies between 460 MHz and 470 MHz.

featured cb radio on the history channel

Okay, I don't want to go through a bunch of extra wiring steps to get my cb radio wired into the cars supplied dc power. So can I buy some sort of adapter that lets me plug it into a cigarette lighter outlet?

you cant

I want to buy a cb radio from America but I am unsure about the frequencies. I live in Ireland.Will an american cb radio work?

No.

US and European CB frequencies are different. Additionally, in Europe CB uses FM, where in the US, we still use AM.

Under no circumstances will a USA CB be allowed in Ireland.

We have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder and want to install a CB radio with the big antenna. Where would be the best place to install it without compromising too much space??
Oh, and what are the good brands to use? Uniden?? Thanks.

Cobra would be the best. Unless you pay a little more for a Uniden. The less expensive ones will not impress you too much.

All come with an under the dash mount. Does little damage to the dash and what it does is done to the underside where it it less noticeable.

A good antenna? Wlison - Lil Will or the 1000 if you want performance is by far the best. It is a magnet mount for on the rooftop. A little sheet of saran wrap under the magnet will help prevent scratches.

The combination of the two will give years of performance.

Basically, I want to know if a cb radio is the same thing as a police scanner. I know that channel 9 is the "emergency" channel, but is that the one the police talk over?

No, police radios operate on different frequencies than "Citizen Band" (CB) radios. Channel 9 was the CB "Emergency Channel" because it was the channel that police DISPATCHERS would MONITOR. With the proliferation of cell phones very few agencies monitor Ch 9.
