Amateur radio is more or less exempt from this restriction (Save 10-12-6

Thanks. We all have seen commercial ham units able to go out of band just on
their inherant design. For example, many aircraft use amateur gear for HF
aviation use. I was just wondering if any units out there were capable of
the marine band.

I know of no 2 meter ham transceiver that is legal to use on the marine
band. However, if you need both, you can buy a commercial unit and program
it for the ham band. I do that and am legal.
