Hi Tom,

So I guess it is ok to violate the laws that we
agreed to follow when we signed our fcc apps.

Yes, for emergency use. But why put your life in the
hands of a modified radio ?

If you can afford to use the boat, plane and ham gear,
please consider getting the correct radios.

Your life may depend on it.

I'm looking for an emergency radio to cover the marine, aviation and 2
meter ham bands. The Yaesu VXA-700 looks good as it covers the ham and
aviation bands but I have found no conversion for transmitting on the marine
band---just receive only.

Anyone know of any handheld tranceiver that has the capability of
transmitting and receiving on the three bands modified or otherwise?

OK... OK... yes I know... legal issues... I've been a ham for 40 years,
flying for 30 and sailing aboard ship as a Radio Officer for 20. I'm just
looking for one unit for emergency communications instead of two or three
separate units and associated accessories; batteries, charger...

Best regards
