While at a friends house I noticed this childrens toy walkie talkie working on 27Mhz where you could clearly hear CB'ers chatting away. It seemed to be tuned between channels as I could hear 2 different conversations at one time. Some of the conversations had squelch tone some did not. Here is a link to a similar story except with an example of much saltier CB conversations being heard. The toy in the picture I have uploaded here is clearly marked 27mhz on the back. I am not sure if such frequency overlap is the best idea.
This is a blog of my amateur radio activities. I am a member of The Hall of Science Radio Club (HOSARC). We have many activities and classes available to radio operators both new and old. In fact HOSARC is the reason I have my ticket today. The free classes were a big help in passing both the Technician and General license tests on the same day. (Post Morse code testing, mind you) Feel free to check them out at www.hosarc.org

Those are usually on channel 14 but there receiver probably has no selectivity and will receive several channels.
