Hi, Mark,
Sorry, no, that's the whole point of low band and high band. You can change your receiver from 11-35 if it is low band, but not above 35 without retuning. Same with high band, 36-60. You MIGHT not have problems using it on 40 in Canada where you have so much less radio noise than we have down here, but at the least it is not ideal.

Futaba will retune it for you relatively inexpensively here in the US, but you'll have to pay shipping down here and such. Might be easier to see if you can find someone to trade your lowband for a high band receiver.
