Something like this :

That way you (and your pax) can still listen to music whilst you can also hear the CB.
I also had a headset for offroad, so I wasn't fumbling for microphones.

Paul, that must be a bitch trying to roll over in bed at night ?

Your spot on Fluids. I have a small speaker inside each ear and it too bloody uncomfortable to wear them to bed. Arguing neighbours or their dog, never keep me awake at night though. I am glad the alarm clock is loud!

Mate of mine did exactly what you are referring to yesterday. We both had little uniden handhelds as we were do medic services at a mud bash event. I think it was more a case of doing it because he can but the result (in my opinion) wasnt much better than standard. In 5 seconds he had the transmitter plugged into the head phone jack, tuned it in and it worked and the trebble and bass could even be adjusted!!

I take it then that you dont want to listen to music? You will obviously have long periods of silence interupted by UHF transmissions and how would any passengers feel about it?

I am expecting that connection to the external speaker jack does not stop the main speaker on the UHF from working which would allow me to listen to music and when I hear the UHF 'crackling', I can simply press the button on the car radio to bring up the pre-tuned FM station (UHF). That said, I don't listen to music or the radio much when I am 'in the bush'. On the highway is different.

Inserting a plug into the external speaker socket usually disables the internal speaker.
