are you sure that is not illegal Marco?

It is not illegal to use an amateur band transmitter as a signal
generator or test oscillator in a laboratory or radio shack. I do it
all the time.

It is not illegal to modify the radio. Only to transmit on unauthorized
frequencies. Just as a General class operator in the US can own an HF
transciever which is capable of transmitting on frequencies that are not
allowed by the license class. Of course, there is the question of "why do
you want your radio to be able to transmit on frequencies that you will
NEVER have priviledges for?", but ours is not to question why, ours os to
have control of our equipment rather than having the manufacturer do our
thinking for us!

Well suppose he wants to use a transverter. To cover the frequency range may
require operation outside of the normal ham bands. For example a transverter
from a 28MHz IF frequency, 10 meter band, to the 2 meter band. The 2 meter
band is 4 MHz wide so you can't cover the complete band using the normal 10
meter band limits. It is legal to go outside of the band, on the rig being
used for the IF frequency, so long as NONE of the IF energy gets radiated.
Its done all the time.
