12/10 meter operation upon proof of license.


Yup. It's legal for a licensed amateur to perform such a modification
(no more than one amp per year or one per model per year, I can't
remember which), and it's also legal for an amateur to sell an amp
once modified to another amateur for amateur use.

License verification isn't required by the FCC, but I imagine it's a
good way for a manufacturer to show a good-faith defense against
charges that they're selling amps intended to be modified for CB use,
and for amateurs to make sure that they're selling used amps in a
legal way.
