Default Fla Mobile scanners question

Hey guys,
Need a little clarification regarding the use of scanners in cars in
Florida. This is clear to me:

1) You cannot install a scanner in your car.
2) "Install" has been determined by the state attorney general to mean a
radio using power from the car and/or connected to an external antenna.
Meaning of course, handhelds with a rubber duck are fine as long as they run
on internal batteries.

Here is where I'm not sure........ There are a few exceptions to the above
law, one if which is for licensed Amateur (HAM) radio operators. Does this
exception mean a HAM can install a scanner? Or does it mean the HAM can
have a transceiver which also receives police frequencies (but doesn't
transmit on them of course?)

Thanks for any input!
