I haven't had one in a few years. But unless it has changed, channel 19 is about the only channel used, except that some local clubs may use a few other. And channel 19 out on the highway can quickly get pretty annoying if you get near some of the rather loose mouthed users on the road.
Can be good if you travel with several others and want to have basically instant communication with all in the group. Then you can use some side channel to eliminate all the other "noise".
Can also be good on that rare occasion when there is a traffic problem somewhere down the road by monitoring 19. But not worth it to me putting up with all the raw talk to get that little info.
Channel 13 used to be monitored in some areas for emergency situations. But not sure that is done anymore.
