Yes - I have a radio like that, and even IT can be made to work on
other frequencies through deft use of the computer memory programming
application that comes with it. From the factory, transmit is
supposedly locked to the ham bands, but changing a setting in the
programming application, unlocks it, and it will transmit on all
frequencies the receiver covers.
If you are not careful, you can easily end up on the wrong band or
frequency - example: using a a 4 MHz offset attenuator when "fox
hunting" (i.e. radio direction finding) you can accidentally put your
signal out of the 2m ham band and into the local police band - and while
you should not transmit there, you could forget and end up in deep do doo.

frequencies except by changing pre-programmed channels.
