"11 meter transceivers may be converted to 10 meter use due to the fact that the 11 meter transceiver has been approved (?) for use by the FCC." Not true. The 11-meter transceiver has been approved for 11-meter use ONLY, and the approval has NOTHING to do with folks being able to convert it to 10-meters. Hams don't need approval to use it on 10-meters. Also, manufactured ham gear needs to meet certain specs, but it does NOT require FCC Type Acceptance/Approval. Nowhere on my Icom does it say 'Type Accepted." It may say "complies with part 15 limits"! If a 2950 is illegal for use on 10 meters, that all the converted Motracs are illegal for use on 10, 6, 2 and 70 centimeters? All the repeaters made with Motorola or other brand business band/public service type radios are illegal then! Where do you draw the line? An amateur is responsible for their transmissions. If an amateur does not do anything wrong with the radio, it is perfectly legal to use, no matter what the radio is. |
