If this device is something alone the size of say a USB flash drive or
similar I could see it being practical, anything larger and it starts
becoming a pain to carry around with you.  I have an XM PCR tuner at home
and a pioneer tuner in my truck because I cant be bothered undocking one of
the portable units and carrying it around all the time, the $6 is worth the
convince of not having to fill my pockets up with receivers.
