I am a retired big rig driver (retired from driving, not from working) and used them ALL THE TIME..
I got tired of all the nonsense that I was listening to so I started turning the squelch up higher, higher, and higher..
I just took it out and use my phone apps for traffic issues, there is no comparison, BUT it's not worth it to me any more.. Too many bone heads making noise just to make noise.. and Not enough good info.
