Yep, this is true in Michigan UNLESS you are the holder of an FCC Amateur
Radio license of Technician Class or higher.
I would like to join Jim in urging those of you who do buy working radios
for your trucks, especially those that transmit in the Amateur Radio Service
VHF bands, to become licensed to use the frequencies your equipment is
capable of.
Look into the Amateur Radio Relay League's Licensing information at:
