Hi, I'm not a trucker, but a volunteer firefighter from Montana. We're having trouble with radio interference on your LADD 3, specifically when truckers are in the Missoula area, although I know of other complaints along the US93, I 90 routes. Please cool it before complaints end up getting to the FCC! Thanks.

Dont know your point, if truckers are bleeding into your Vhf radios you need better radios. Dont blame truckers because your Vhf does not have decent channel rejection. Put a Bandaid on it and go cry somewhere else. 27 Mhz does not bleed into 150 - 160 mhz. Go ahaed call the FCC this wil; be funny.
Antinomian Thanks this. -
Very few, if any, Canadian drivers are legal to be using those radios and channels in the US and they REALLY shouldn't if it is a frequency in use by local emergency services.
The group I was doing OS hauls with all had and used VHF radios in the US (nobody uses CB for OS up here), but we would switch frequency if there was traffic as we had user programmable radios (illegal in Canada)... common sense.Phantom Trucker and AModelCat Thank this. -
Vhf radios should not be bleeding on to public service channels at all. If they do then he should by all means turn it in.

Well hate to tell ya, but in Canada, there are plenty of frequencies used in the USA by public fire depts and police services. I gotta have at least 45 channels in my vhf. I hear police and fire depts ambulance services on the Canadian public trucker channels all the time.
