Yes, cutting the "ham" jumper enables transmit over the full range. To 
prevent accidental transmission when I'm shortwave listening 
(particularly when the radio is parked on mil or aircraft frequencies), 
I removed the TX enable jumper on the back and routed the TX EN and TX 
OUT lines to an external toggle switch. So, when I'm just listening I 
flip the transmit enable off. It's cheap insurance.
