note: ALL IC2100s (and most other 2m rigs) come with the ability to
wideband. Clip a single diode (in the 2100 I think it's D16, on the
back of the display board) and you have xmit from 138 to 174 MHz. But
this is nothing new; most amateur radios have had this capability for
a long time.

And when sellers advertise that the tx capabilities have been expanded, or
the fact that they will do it for the high bidder at no extra cost, Ebay
turns a blind eye. It's all about making money. I've noticed Ebay ignoring
many of the supposed "illegal" radios being sold on there lately.
