  I do have one, although I really don't need it with the 590's internal 
  sound card and data vox, but it is a really neat little unit.    I've 
  used it with the 2000 and 480, and the front panel level controls and 
  delay control make it easy to tweak on the fly, without   needing to go 
  into either the radio or pc menus.
