I have an HF transceiver which can be easily modified to work outside
the ham bands. I want to perform the mod so I can use the radio with
VHF/UHF transverters and cover the entire bands. Would this be legal?
I have discussed this with several fellow hams but have not really got
any kind of definitive answer yet.

Assuming you are a licensed ham, it is perfectly legal...IF...you do not
transmit over the air on a frequency that is NOT authorized. With
transverters, the RF coming out of the HF transceiver goes into the
transverter on a coax cable. It is not going out over the air. The
transverter output must be filtered enough to only pass the desired
signal and must reduce harmonics and spurious emissions (of which your
IF frequency could be considered a spurious emission).
