Not a problem, I can fully understand, between my job, Parent's that
are in the mid 80's, another member of the family who has terminal
illness, and a business that I run on the side, my plate is often on
the verge of overfilling too.

Prior to our area going to 800 mhz I listened to my scanner during
every waking moment. I was even able to take it to work. Now I have
a different job, and have too much going on to pay any sort of
attention to the scanner so I don't take it to work. When I go home
there are days that I don't even turn it on, and I never turn it on
at night. Often times when I do turn on the scanner it is to listen
to the HAM Radio frequencies.  I am in great hopes that the new
scanners will extend the hobbie for me, at least for a few more
years.
Take care,
Martin
