Wouldn't that be illegal?

It would violate various laws of physics (really major mods are
required) as well
as FCC rules.....




Hi OM,

Yes it would. It is against the law to sell Transmitters that are not
type-accepted for the band they are intended.

On the other hand, the Amateur radio service is the ONLY exception to
the rule. We CAN design, build, and operate non type-accepted gear.

I think the rules say "no more than 5 (or is it 10) copies of the same
design per year.
Manufacturers who want to make more than that *do* have to get
certificated. That's
what the FCC calls "type acceptance" nowadays.....


On the third hand, the 11 Meter band is not Amateur radio service.
Even tho' we can work there, we must abide by all rules and
regulations for that service (all restrictions apply in spite of our
"privileges").

On CB, hams are just like other civilians.
