Simple - it is illegal. You cannot use a HF ham

CB bands.
Is this spelled out in the rules or is this from an interpretation of the
rules? AFAIK, the issue with ham transmitters and CB radio is one of maximum
output power.
The solution seems a simple one. Allow transmit on the CB/marine band but,
while tuned to those frequencies, the power output would be restricted to no
more than the maximum allowed for that band. There could even be a menu entry
that would completely disable Tx on the CB/marine band for those people
worried about accidentally transmitting on the band.
As long as you had the proper authorization (ie. needed licence) for the band,
you would be good to go and would be operating within the legal limits for the
band.
