In emergencies, all restrictions are null and void.

I bet if your life were on the line you'd voluntarily give it up so as
not to violate the 'man-made' regulations. N'est ce pas?

Actually, the FCC regs make allowance for emergencies in various
services.

However, you should try legal means first even in an emergency.

Modifying gear ahead of time to transmit on frequencies you are not
licensed for would be at best, a legal gray area.

Happy trails,
