Yes that is why ranger can now sell new 10/12 meter radios on flea bay.
I bought my last new Hr 2510 from HRO when they were closing them out.
That now "famous" list that was sent to flea bay was total bullshit written by a FCC field agent that was confused as to what a " legal" radio was.
I have a copy of the e mail somewhere were he even stated that if they were going to go after Ranger then the Big 3, Kenwood, Yaesu, and Icon might be in the same boat because some of there radios were just as easy to mod for out of band operation.
People still dredge up that list from time to time but it is a crock full of it.
Lol the FCC got there hand slapped by the Judge for with holding info in the case that did, in the end, prove that they were confused about what was and was not legal.
Some of the old members here may rember John Mahony that owned Panther Electronics.
When 9/11 happened and communications went to hell in NY he was contacted by FEMA and supplied them with expanded RCI 2970 radios that were paid for by the feds.
At one time there was a copy of the original invoice posted right here on this forum.
Legal as Ice cream.
The FCC lost that round.
