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.

That was the R-7100. The R-7000 was discontinued long before the
date that the cellular bands had to be blocked.

There were various versions of the R-7000 for different markets that
may have had frequencies blocked. The U.S. versions did not.
