Sky command has so far been illegal because the FCC considers the path from
HF back to the hand-held (or mobile), which is on 2 meters, to be part of
the control of the HF radio. Since this is on 2 meters, and control must be
on 220 or above, it was not allowed. However it would appear that is about
to change. WT Docket No. 04-140 addresses this (and other changes) and in
it, the FCC states:
"Because we have no basis to conclude that auxiliary stations transmitting
on the 2 m band would cause harmful interference or that user coordination
would not be possible, we believe that Kenwood's proposed rule change will
be consistent with our flexible-use policy in the amateur service."

Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.
