All this talk about what's legal and what's not isn't going anywhere.  
Let's face it, there are some people who shouldn't do ANYTHING with 
radio equipment, including own and operate it.  We all know those 
people.  Their most common statement is, "Oops!"  Then there are the 
knowledgeable people who prudently do things with their equipment, 
which is technically illegal.  The FCC tries to make broad rules to 
cover every eventuality.  They type certify radio equipment in an 
attempt to keep the "Oops! " people from hurting themselves or others.  
If anyone can tell me why a prudent person shouldn't use equipment that 
they've changed frequency on AND ranged-checked to determine any 
change, other than, "FCC rules do not allow you to do that", I will 
listen.  BTW, I hold an FCC technician license (KD4TXE).
