What is it that you would miss? I only ever hear inane chatter, often with atrocious language or work chatter often with atrocious language! Some people seem incapable of communicating without ****** every second word in a forlorn attempt to add emphasis where it is never needed.
Monitoring 40 makes sense. In the outback, monitoring the designated comms channel makes sense as it alerts you to approaching convoys. Ditto with certain roads in the Vic Alps where it is wise to alert any oncoming logging trucks of your position every km. But other than that, I'd prefer the silence.

Ditto. Rarely turn mine on these days. Don’t tend to travel with others and like you say, the endless filth isn’t a good reason to interrupt the tunes. I only got one as it was a prerequisite to staying at one particular station for emergency use.

Same here,haven't even bothered to fit one in our latest vehicle.

We have a set of 5W hand helds,use them when needed and much more versatile than a vehicle mounted unit.

But for those that need an in vehicle unit for work i can see how they are a lot more convenient than hand helds.

I have a vehicle mounted GME and a little uniden hand held which is handy for use out of the vehicle.
