You're wanting to be able to listen to CB on your computer via either an Internet connected receiver or a software controller receiver. There are a few scanners online that allow you to control them and those can be used, but most of the online scanners are an audio feed only. The owner decides what is received. 2. You are actually hearing CB transmissions through your PC speakers. This happens frequently when electronics are near any type of transmitting station that uses any power to speak of. Most consumer grade electronics have little or no immunity to the presence of even moderate RF fields. If the transmitting station is within its legal bounds (power level, spectral purity) then the responsibility of fixing the interference falls only on you. You can thank the FCC for this problem - when they had a chance to have minimum RFI tolerance limits they instead allowed manufacturers to use a 'voluntary' guideline. Most RS scanners start their frequency coverage at 29 MHz and the CB band is in the 26-27 MHz range. A few start their coverage at 25 MHz. I'm not familiar with your model of scanner but most that have CB coverage will have the channels listed in the service bank search feature.

The first question can be taken one of two ways:
