Hi Sand Man - familiar with 40 - if i don't like the language, there's always the volume switch. That's usually only a problem in cities anyway, and we avoid them as often as we can. I met a couple from
Cairns in the street yesterday (rather i stood between them and their Baroma and chatted until they escaped me); like us they had a big 40 on the back of their van. He said he'd tried the 18/40 scanning bit, but it was better to keep in touch with what's happening on 40, and if wanting to chat with another caravaner, just to say "go down one". When i said some people don't like it because of the language, the quiet little lady said "i come on and tell them to moderate their language, that there are others out there".
I may have said before, last year there was a traffic stoppage for an unknown reason on the bridge at Pt
Augusta - really hot day, traffic stopped for hours and banked up to right out town. Road rage was understandable. If it wasn't for 40, we wouldn't have known what was going on, and the chatter kept us sane - some of it very funny even if a bit crude - forgivable in the circumstances. I even joined in (politely of course).
