    I have a Cobra 29 NW that I got tuned from Walcott CB. Today, while my co-driver was driving east on I-80 in Iowa, and with me sitting in the back watching a movie on my laptop, I hear "Thanks for the info westbound" come thru the headphones I have plugged into my laptop. It was my co-driver talking on the radio and coming thru my headphones. We tried to recreate but couldn't. Anyone have any idea how this happened.

    Truck is a 2009 Cascadia, laptop is a new model MacBook Pro with an all aluminum body.

    I happens because your computer will act as a radio receiver when it has a very strong signal. Kinda like the old crystal radio.
