It is my belief that radios that are usuable tunable or easily reprogrammable (without a trained technician or special software) in the maritime service (and capable of tuning the Ham bands) would be in contravention to current FCC rules and regs. I may be wrong about this but I know there was a prohibition in the commercial VHF/UHF bands. However radios that are made exclusively for the DOD bands have no such prohibitions
