Maine state troopers use Citizens Band radios to locate patrols on the Turnpike and say Smokey the Bear radios help more than they hinder. About 20 troopers monitor Channel 19 with three exceptions and report accidents faster, while truckers often relay locations to aid motorists and even slow calls to trap criminals. Local police praise CB use, though some thefts of radios occur and a few drivers fear a war with troopers.
