You haven't paid much attention
then, as there have been both hardware and software methods which did =
(do) just that.

If you own one from the first few years of production, either method =
will work. However, it was noticed by the FCC, and Icom was forced to =
modify their design  to prevent this mod.

The author of talkpcr has an EEPROM backup program that also resets =
things to any of several different country setttings if you so desire.

These mods were a hot topic in the early days of this reflector, so =
perhaps you can find them in an archive.

I'm sure some of the 'old timers' will have more info if any are still =
around.

It's always good to check your facts before making a horses ass of =
youself, especially  when trying to make an ass of someone  else.

Do a little  research, I'm sure you'll turn something up.
