Lines: 14 As I have noted before, the cheapest radar detector around is any CB radio that works reasonably well. Just keep it on Channel 19 and listen to the traffic. You will hear about any radar being used long before a detector can pick it up. You will also be warned about any patrol cars that are not using radar, but just lying in wait over the hill. The CB band has changed quite a bit from its heyday a few years ago. It is a lot easier to listen to now with most of the wierdos gone. Besides, it also provides traffic information and directions when you need them. About 15% of the cars on the Garden State Parkway here in New Jersey have CBs and the number is growing again. Most of the new people are just interested in traffic and speed traps and rarely say anything. T. C. Wheeler
