    You do not need a license to listen to ham radio with a traditional transceiver. You only need a license to transmit.

    There are no licensing requirements for equipment purchases.

      I have a handheld ham. The baofeng ones with no license. Come to get me FCC

      When I use them to communicate, I use FRS frequencies, which are still not legal technically, but no one will even know.
