Illinois has more specialized plates than any other state, so I'm surprised things like Clint's "trouble" don't happen much more often here...

Hee Hee... ! I love it.. It's not just ham plates but any of those personalized or "special" plates that cause confusion.
I have run lots of plates that came back invalid, and by doing as you say, putting in spaces, or trying a different category of plate, etc. they will come back OK.
Also, you might have commercial plates with ham call on them. Now, what do they do? Run it as a "Auto", or "commercial" ? Try both!
What usually brings the coppers on in force is when you run a plate and it comes back valid but to another car.. Definitely something strange going on there!
Watch your back~!
