I do my every day listening as previously described. *I enjoy my radios
when I use them to try to find very weak and otherwise difficult
signals. *You do not want me riding shotgun (or driving for that matter)
on a road trip as you will hear almost nothing beyond static crashes and
pink noise.

Hey- I will add this also. I was wanting to put together again what I
call my "fun car/truck".....something that is just mine and the wife
wouldn't care what I looked like driving down the road. In my old fun
car- it was either a 83-84 Olds Firenza that I basically stole at
auction for like $400. I painted it black and darkened the windows a
little and had six antennas hanging off that thing. It was fun going
to the junk yards and pillaging them for the "just AM" radios. I tried
three different kinds till I settled on a simple Delco that was badass
as far as the BCB. Two 1/2" ground plates, one welded to the frame in
the front and one to the frame by the truck. Those were the days! I
loved that car. Three scanners/CB with a small modulator box/ AM radio/
shortwave. I remember cruising down the highway and heard this one
driver tell another "Hey look at this little black car coming up in
the hammer lane- that moth**fuc**r is wired for sound." That cracked
me up. sigh
