All Icom M710 transceivers mfg. since July 2002 are a type accepted
marine transceiver that has the ham bands enabled by Icom. NO software
uploads required. No "opening" of the radio required. It is legal for
the Marine bands if you have a ships radio license and Restricted Radio
operators license, and legal for the ham bands if you have a general or
higher ham license.

Yep, that is EXACTLY right. This is a case where no Modifications are
made or needed, and Type Acceptance would still be VALID for this radio.

Not the case for most other "Opened" radios.

OK Guys, lets see legal the following is then: Standard HX-370S, Type
accepted for Part 80 VHF Marine FM and Part 90 Land Mobile VHF-FM, has 40
Dealer programmable Part 90 channels 137-174 Mhz. If I program in 2 meter
144-148 MHz ham band, Part 97, frequencies into the land mobile memory
channels, does this mean it is now no longer type accepted? I don't think
so.
