I have one, but, probably thanks to listening to the radio in patrol vehicle for 30+ years it just isn't as much fun as it used to be. And my wife, after being on the other end of my radio for the same length of time, hates the thing. But I like to carry it on trips, sometimes it can give you a hint about traffic problems ahead, or maybe why that black & white just blew by you at 120 mph. In an emergency one could possibly get some good info. Knowing the nine, ten, and eleven codes comes in handy too...
