The trouble is that those radios are not FCC certified for MURS, FRS, or GMRS. Some of us like to operate within the rules because we have a lot to lose if we don't.
I've done the wideband modification on all of my amateur radios in case I ever need to use them out of band in an emergency. I've never had cause to transmit out of band yet, and I hope I never do. |
