you could basically put it anywhere.. where are the easiest places to reach, which of them are essentially out of the way, and how could you mount it there
i'd sit in my car, think about those steps in that order, and then have my answer

i believe its console. haha. And yea i was wondering wtf a cb radio was. Maybe in the back seat where the ash tray is? The walkie talkie thing is on a cord, and unless its hard find a channel then it shouldnt be bad back there.

I would put it where the ashtray goes. So you can reach all the knobs. And yup I think you're the first to ask

those are good to use if driving long distances. most truckers help you locate where cops are. I swear those truckers use that damn thing to pin me in. I had 4 semi's box me in the one day and i swear they planned it..bastards.

you know i was thinking of putting a police scanner in my car. since i work with gang kids with a non profit i think that would be a good thing to have since my kids are always getting in trouble. 4 of my kids this month got locked up again for dumb shit.
anyone know where i can get one?

CB radios are a good speeding countermeasure, you find the right channels and the truckers will light up ol' Smokie everywhere they go
Police scanners wirk as well, although with the frequency hopping and trunking bands these days its harder to do unles you have their specific operating bands. . . you can use a simple handheld unit and install a reciever antenna on the car somewhere and plug it in when youre using it. . . or theres mobile types that you can mount in a DIN slot like under the radio or on the dashboard, you have to run your own antenna for that though, no way around that. . . but as a speeding countermeasure scanners dont work quite so well, youll hear um radio you in, but thats about it, but thing with the scanners is theyre great fun, ive learned with mine that there are only 3 to 4 cars patrolling my ENTIRE city after I believe midnight
the way things are going now a RD will be a good friend. . . and a decent Laser Jammer, not those crappy LED jamming units like Blinder and Escort, im talking big time Diode based jammers. . . which you can only find if you know where to look

sitting around the house or cruising I could pick up good radio traffic from Arlington. . . 25 miles away

Could I have a smokey the bear report on I-10 at mile marker 75 for the next 20 miles?
That's what CB radios are good for....and for makin smalltalk when you're lonely. turns out truckers are good listeners
