Not true. The 11-meter transceiver has been approved for 11-meter use ONLY,
and the approval has NOTHING to do with folks being able to convert it to
10-meters. Hams don't need approval to use it on 10-meters. Also,
manufactured ham gear needs to meet certain specs, but it does NOT require
FCC Type Acceptance/Approval. Nowhere on my Icom does it say 'Type
Accepted."

It may say "complies with part 15 limits"!

If a 2950 is illegal for use on 10 meters, that all the converted Motracs
are illegal for use on 10, 6, 2 and 70 centimeters? All the repeaters
made with Motorola or other brand business band/public service type radios
are illegal then! Where do you draw the line? An amateur is responsible
for their transmissions. If an amateur does not do anything wrong with
the radio, it is perfectly legal to use, no matter what the radio is.

Well, they still have to stay off the CW frequencies if they're not
actually
running CW. The frequency plan is in effect still.

The frequency plan (Band Plan) is actualy a Gentlemans' Agreement and is
NOT santioned by the FCC. Technically, a person can use phone in the CW
portion of ANY band, but they generally don't per the 'agreement.'

On the Citizen's Band that is true. Outside the 40 channels, that is not
true: Frequencies and modes are restricted depending on your license.

Lets all take a BIG breath and relax/chill.
If you want to take a Motorola/GE or whatever radio from it's current
lo-band use and convert it to 6-meters, you are GOOD TO GO. You do NOT need
FCC Certification to modify it and put it on the air in the 6-meter ham
band. After modification, it will no longer be Type Accepted/FCC Approved
for the service that it was originally designed for and therefore CANNOT
legally be placed back into original service. Am I getting through to
anyone? Frank, help me out here. Amateur Radio operators have for many years
been able to build/modify/transmit from gear that they have either bought,
built, or modified to work on the ham bands with no FCC 'sticker' required.
The 11-meter "Type Accepted" is just that... the radio is "Type Accepted"
for use on 11-meters ONLY and any change/modification to the radio will null
and void it's 'Type Acceptance' for that particular band. Hams, can however,
modify that same 11-meter radio to become a beacon or 10-meter radio if they
so desire WITHOUT any type of FCC Type Acceptance and/or Certification for
its new use.
