I bought a canary yellow plastic "walkie-talkie" looking unit from Radio Shack about 6 yrs ago. We take it on trips and find it comes in handy each time when stuck in traffic: it at least gives us the reason for the hour's worth of sitting on I-81, et al. It receives well, though its "talk"/send range is very limited. We can listen to the truckers bitch about all of us in cars, find what mile mkr the closure is at, what lane,etc. Handy, imo.
