Ham Radio Modification Links - From www.QRZ.com

One of the interesting points about the Ham Radio Hobby is the ability to experiment with radios and antennas, including modifications of existing radios. These mods are NOT factory authorized and will void your warranty. Also, just because your radio gets modified to allow out of band operations, does NOT mean your Amateur Radio license has been modified to allow such operations. Being caught using a modified ham radio outside the authorized Amateur Radio bands could result in loss of license, fines, forfeiture of equipment, etc.
