As with every other commercially built amplifier, the modification
required to make it work on 10 meters ( which in almost every case will
also make it work on 11 meters ) is "very simple". Yet FCC 97.315 (b)
says, in part:

I suppose that one could argue that "very simple" does not equal "easily".
Seems like this is one of those rules, so poorly thought out and
written, that it either can not or should not be enforced. No doubt it
is enforced selectively like other rules that fall into that same category.
