[Elecraft] KPA 500 Codan Envoy

" Perhaps the real question is whether it would be legal to use that rig on
the ham bands.  Since it can apparently cover the 160 - 10m bands without
modification, wouldn't it need to be type accepted?"


Only if the company's intention was to sell specifically to the HAM
community.

They of course, have the OK for their existing market.

Also, any licensed ham could use this radio if it was obtained on the "used"
market.
If this were NOT legal, we could therefore, not use commercial  an old BC
transmitter for legal limit AM.
Or, for that matter ANY radio not designated for HAM use.....obviously, NOT
the case.

Maybe Bob wants to use the Envoy 2 on the ham bands.  I'm not familiar with
the Codan line of military/business transceivers, but I see that model does
have transmit coverage from 1.6 to 30 MHz.

Perhaps the real question is whether it would be legal to use that rig on
the ham bands.  Since it can apparently cover the 160 - 10m bands without
modification, wouldn't it need to be type accepted?
