Give this man a cigar because he's today's exclusive winner on 21!

The problem is that most modern hams today don't have a clue about what
you're talking about because most modern hams don't understand the theory
behind bandpass filtration, especially in their own Riceboxes. They actually
believe the radios will go from DC to Daylight once opened.

I believe this is the reason why Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom haven't publicly
released the mods to these radios (other than to MARS/CAP members) because
these companies know damn well that they'll be performing a slue of warranty
repairs on the lot because some jack ass will actually try to use his radio
on the commercial AM broadcast band.
