In some states, it is illegal to have them in the car if you are not
licensed but not because of the transmitter. It is the receiver that is
the
issue and generally applies to scanners though your average cop does not
know the difference. If you suspect that you live in such a state, it
would
be in your best interest to find out as your shortwave rig is just as
likely
to get you busted as anything. As for the size of a transceiver, some are
no
bigger than your stock car radio.

I don't have a Ham license... Anyhow, for some reason, I seem to
remember reading that it's illegal to have a ham transceiver in a car
in NY anyhow... Maybe I'm wrong...
