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. Doug, K7ABX No, Doug. It isn't that you can program in channels that are not covered under the Type Acceptance that invalidates the Type Acceptance. It is, however, that ANY Physical MODIFICATION that changes any of the Operational Charactoristics of the radio that invalidates the Type Acceptance. In your case, as stated, you are not making any changes to the radio itself, just adding frequencies to the memory of the radio. This doesn't change the Operational Charactoristics of the radio, as it is still exactly like it came from the OEM. If, however, you had to go inside, and cut a diode, or flip a switch, or move a jumper, to add that frequency, and that change needs to stay that way, in order to add the programed channel, then you have MODIFIED, the radio and therfore invalidated the Type Acceptance, for that radio.
