If they refuse to sell it to him because he does not have a license, he can
sue. Any business knows this. They will not refuse to sell.

Most sales outlets will ASK FOR his call sign, though they may not
require it to make the sale. Some will require it.

I have an in dash unit - Sony, with the gap -- and often wish the gap
wasn't there, 9.475, 9.495, 9330, etc. Even though I've really enjoyed
and appreciated the radio I have, I often wish I'd gone the other
route. I have no ssb. Am limited to increments of 5. etc.

Many of them are rather small.

Many "hams" get a mobile HF radio with full coverage receive. Since
this unit can also transmit, on the ham bands, it is limited (at least
at most places) to licensed amateur radio operators only.
