For the cost of sending in a radio to get it checked over and tuned correctly it just isn't worth the risk.
Exactly
This only applies to the 72 and 27mhz bands. The 50 mhz ham bands can do what they want because they have the band to themselves.
Applies to 75 mhz also.
Also not to steal Chucks thunder, but he sent a radio in that he had bought used that had an illegal crystal swap and they found that the output was on the lines of 50 percent of what it should be, a quick tune up solved the issue.
I should have read your post before I posted.
