I've had one for a while, the problem is that I always listen to music on the FM and miss any fish/bait reports or calls for help on the VHF. I think I was a couple hundred yards away from those guys teasing the big Mako last week but I was listening to SRV on 103.7 when they radioed for assistance, never knew it was happening until I read about it later. Both FM and AM are weak, the antenna is optimized for VHF. But you'll get the Charger games and several music stations.
