[s-cars] detectors

I have a little el-cheapo brand CB with all the works in the mike 
unit which just feeds a magnetic mounted (and therefore imminently 
removable) antenna.  The radio itself doesn't need to be mounted 
anywhere inside the car, just let in lay in your lap and it works 
perfectly and it is removed easily from the car.  All that is needed 
is to be able to hear things like - "there's a full-grown bear 
sittin' in the 'medium' at the 47 yardstick".  This is convenient to 
know as you near the 47 mile marker post.  ;-)
