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.
