BTW - if you do purchase this radio and don't have a Ham license - then PLEASE stay off of the Ham 10m freq (28mHz and above)!
It isn't worth the trouble and expense of HUGE fines and court and attorney cost.
Really.
Most Hams do not care if you use the so-called 'freeband' (above 27.405 up to 27.995); - those freq's below 28mHz.
Please just do not cause interference in any way.
Owning this radio can be dangerous to you wallet if not operated responsibly. It also gives you the option to seek out your Tech license and then be able to use the 10m portion legally on this radio. Getting the Tech license is a little hard to do; but I also think you will earn a proper sense of accomplishment if you take the time and small expense to go that short distance it takes.

If who do? If I do? Here's a novel idea - you worry about you and what you do and I'll worry about me and what I do. I've seen enough illegal activity by hams not to give two shat's about the groups "concern" over what non-licensed operators are doing.
