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.
