I read somewhere that the IC-V8 is type accepted for use out of band. Does
anyone know if this is true? Does the FCC have a database of type accepted
radios?

No it is not Type Accepted for use out of band. Only the receiver is
accepted not the transmitter. The FCC ID is AFJIC-V8

go to this page
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/c...ericSearch.cfm

put afj in the grantee code box and IC-V8 in the product code box.
Then click on the submit button. You will get the Grants for both the
IC-V8 and IC-V8000.

For the IC-V8 to be Type Accepted it had to have an Equipment
Authorization under FCC Part 90. All you will see is authorization as
a scanning receiver from136 to 144 and 148 to 174 MHz. The
transmitter was not tested nor authorized for Part 90.

So it is not Type Accepted for use in the commercial radio services,
might be ok for MARS and CAP though. The NTIA supplied equipment
authorizations for MARS, CAP and most all other US Government
frequencies.

Amateur radio transmitters must only meet the technical standards of
FCC Part 97 amateur rules, therefore only tested by the manufacturer
where receivers that operate above 30 MHZ must be Type Approved under
FCC Part 15 rules for radiation of products and are certified for
those rules generally by a testing lab. Then the receiver is only
tested for FCC Part 15 at the frequencies the manufacturer decides to
have it tested at.

No the radio as an IC-V8 is NOT type accepted.
The same basic radio is known as an S4GS in its commercial version.
