I owned one in 1979. Looked a little ridiculous with that huge antenna on the trunk of my _69 Mercury Marquis. It broke off in the Galleria parking garage and replacing it once was enough. That was the old quarter wave antenna back when 4 watts was maximum power transmission.
Channel 9 was for emergencies
Channel 19 replaced channel 10 as the highway (trucker) channel.
If you do still hear chatter, it_ll probably be on 19. I_m sure some folks (mainly truckers) still use them.
