I have a hand held CB transceiver with a little whip antenna. I have used it only a few times when I needed to find a diesel gas station. Picked it up, asked the trucker coming by where the next truck stop was, got an answer, turned it off. Same goes for road conditions. So don't put out a lot of money for one. If you don't like hand helds, get the Cobra all built into the microphone. Speaker is not that great, but you can put an external speaker on it, or an ear piece so as to no upset the passengers.
As stated, they have there usefulness, even though it is infrequent. The cell phone is better for those situations where you need a tow, gas, or other semi-emergency situations, and a cell phone for all emergency situations.
Your call.
