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.

You guys must be kidding, there isn't one antenna to cover that many
bands? There's gotta be something out there where you can change the
impedance of an antenna with a switch or something for different bands,
isn't there one???

By the way, the radio allows you to transmit, so are you stating that
the police wont say anything unless they catch you actually talking on
the mic??

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.
