I do....but I mainly want one for road trips, coordination between my friend and me when we're driving separately. It's a lot easier than using a cell phone. Also, lot of them come with NOAA weather channels...it'd be good for emergencies and better than the emergency service scanner app i have on my phone.
HAM sounds expensive. I've got all the classroom work done to operate some VHF radios for Civil Air Patrol...just need an evaluation and signature by the Communications Officer to be certified...I'm thinking of doing the Advanced and Master ratings.
