Hi Tom,

Yes, it can be used outside the ham bands on MARS but does require hardware
modification.  Very 73.

Well, I'd be borrowing this one so I'm not sure what its got with it but...

Can you work outside the ham bands without modification for things like MARS
with that particular radio?

Now if that guy will get me the ht to borrow I can get on the air <g>.
