There are some radios out ther,but unless your willing to spend upward of $400.00 per unit theres not much in terms of cheep ones. I been into radios for 20 some years,if your looking at Kenwood,Yaesu or icom they usally ask you Ham ticket to order one. Some radios can be modified,but your asking them to go out of there freq. range in some cases.That being said,what it meens is the antenna is coiled for a certain freq. range and going past that changes it's electrical leingth an might no be "tuned" for that new leingth your asking it to do. It can damage the radio as the S.W.R. (standing-wave-ratio) is out by to much the radio see's to much refletion back. You can see about asking some local Ham shops out there what they might be able to order in for you! I asked a friend of mine about it and the price wasent worth it to me. I'v sold most of my stuff,but I still have a Kenwood here. Hope that gives you some direction,Cheers!
