Communications Equipment / Radios
Who has CB/ ham/ or radio scanners in their vehicles, and why? I've been considering the three for a while, and ended up ordering a CB setup last night. I don't have a ham license and don't want to...

Ordered the ARRL Tech and General flash cards today. I know I could have used hamstudy.org, or made my own, but I decided to buy them so I can use them without being tethered to a phone or computer, and save the time involved in making my own. I'll also be able to share them with family members who would be less likely to use a phone or computer for studying.
To qualify for free shipping, I went ahead and threw in the CV2ANTNCG fender mount, Larsen NMO2/70B antenna, and Larsen NMO-K mount kit.
I am interested in APRS because I think it would be useful for family to see where we are while we are on the road. From my research, for APRS, the Kenwood TM-D710GA is the radio to get. Unless anyone can tell me otherwise, I'll be ordering one of those in the next few days and trying to figure out how to mount it in the cab. Also going to use a relay to manage power it when the ignition is engaged, even though it'll run directly off one of the batteries.
