As an instrument-rated power pilot, I have always flown VFR with flight
following, or when not using flight following, I would tune in the CTAF
of airports as I flew near, esp in copters. My airplane has both
weather and a TCAS overlaid on the moving map. More information was
always better.

I'm very pleased with the Dittel KRT2 I fitted last year in response to
the impending switch to 8.33 kHz channel spacing in the UK. The
unexpected benefit is that it has dual channel monitoring, so I can stay
on 130.4 and use the standby channel to listen to nearby airfields. If I
need to talk to them, a single button press to swap the channels is all
it takes.
