This is one of the few multi-band transistor portables I've ever seen with a separate band for the CB channels as well. Makes sense, as CB was still a licensed and rather orderly, organized service in the late '70s. It wasn't until 1983, when the FCC stopped issuing CB licenses, that the Citizens Band went all to........pieces.

DTV audio is digital, along with the video. So all you'd get is additional noise, if anything at all. But you might hear something between channel 4 and 5, there's some "mobile" and "fixed" services there.
IIRC, on the CB band, it was around 1975 when it went to hell. There was a pop C&W song "Convoy" which featured CB radio being used by truckers to find cops in speed traps on highways. So everyone ran out and bought CB sets and soon kids started messing around on that band. ...
