I appreciate all the comments.I am not the person who wants to use these radio,s outside the ham bands.The fact is KF5OXF bought these with the idea that the radios could be used in his repair work for the city of needville.He is technically able to repair,operate any radio system as his understanding is far superior to any or most hams.The seller told him the radio,s would easily work outside of the ham bands.I am in no way an advocate for illegal operation.I am just trying to help a friend get proper info.Dont shoot me I am only the messenger.73s all de AA5OA.
