    What exactly do you mean by scrambled? What are you hearing?

    I know there was a lot of hospital paging systems around those frequencies in Dublin when I was on CB, you'd hear a data burst sometimes followed by a voice. They were always on FM.

    If it's not that, it could be people messing with voice scrambling software.

    ...Or people talking on SSB wile your on AM/FM can sound like it's scrambled stuff if you never used SSB.

    I know its the truckers channel here cause if u see a trucker talkin and switch to channel 4 it sounds like static but my cb is set up perfectly, it could well be SSB or voice scrambler so others cant listen in but if it is a voice scrambler where can i get one

    CH 19 is where the truckers braodcast going through Waterford. And PauloMN is correct. CH4 is some sort of paging system

    when i was living in dublin there was carriers on a few of the channels, it was annoying cos new ones would pop up now and again, and also then every church started throwing antrons and super sticks on their roofs and bradcasting mass all over our channels :(

    The Churches now have their own offical 80 channels, 40 are the UK CB channels, to make it nice and easy to get the gear. Unlike CB, they must get a licence and stick to one channel. The licence isn't expensive. Should get them out of Band II VHF/FM radio and main CB where indeed on both many making a nuisence of themselves.
