Help, I need to find out how you can tell if an Icom R-7000 is frequency
(c-phone) blocked. Also, do all R-7000 cover the SHF band, ~1000MHz -
20,000MHz? IOW: are all R-7000 the same? Thank you.

Not all 7000's are created equal. All of the early models were totally
open, and topped out at 2Ghz. Later versions were blocked in specific
800-900 Mhz ranges, due to US Regulations, and this was done via
Firmware PROM Code changes, so they couldn't be opened easily.

Me who has an early version......
