i have a Midland 77-116. It is a 4 Watt, 40 channel radio. It also has 3 VHF NOAA channels. It is a pretty good radio. It was an expensive unit when my Gramdpa bought them. He had them in both of his cars. When he died, I hooked one up in my room, because i had always been fascinated by them from when i was a kid.

LMAO !!! I can't run CB and scanners in my car.. it would over power and kill the input stage of my scanner even with Attenuator on. So it sits at my parents place collecting dust cause I don't use it when I get home.. good ol Internet chat for me then. 
My buddy has so much scanners and antenna on his van that its called porcupine

Man, that craze was nearly 30 years ago... I had a Royce base station my uncle gave me for my birthday. He didn't supply an antenna, but I built one by rinning loops of heavy wire around the windows of the back porch next to my bedroom. When I was on the air, the neighbors all called to complain that they couldn't hear anything on their TV'* except whatever I was broadcasting. Once, I left the mic Keyed on next to a radio to test the reception of a walkie talkie, and before I got home, the FCC was at my house telling my dad they were going to confiscate the radio...
Anyhow, my handle was "Conjuror"
