[TenTec] On Switching Power Supplies

[Richards]

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.
