Well there goes that idea, I wanted a cool looking cb/ssb/weather radio
to mount in my new Jeep Commander. By the way, does a combo radio exist
with cb/ssb/weather/shortwave/frs and a mod to listen to 10 meter? I
don't have a ham radio license but I enjoy listening.

You might need a couple radios for all that. There are several 10 meter radios
that cover the CB band, but not vice versa.

That radio is called an IC-706MKIIG.

With the mod, it covers everything, has 100 watts on HF, and will do
49MHz, MURS and FRS. I think it misses 220 though. With a tech ticket,
you could cover a lot of ground with that one.

THANK YOU! Looks great and would look very good in my Jeep Commander.
Do I need a HAM license to have one if the police see it??

No. You need a license to transmit on ham bands. And you also need a beats of an
antenna, to cover all the bands.

I thought you needed a licence if you had a transceiver but no licence if
its just a receiver. I believe that to be the case in the UK but of course
the US may be different.

Anybody can buy in the US. It's not a law. Maybe vendors have some license
requirements, but still not law.
