I did look at it. The article is all over the place, first it says the issue is illegal modifications, then it gets into programming.
The FCC citation itself only mentions programming.
I thought it was illegal to transmit where you're not licensed, not to possess a radio that is programmed with that frequency.
When I hear about modification and the offense being the actual programming by Mr. Perez, on a 154MHz frequency, I wonder if he modified and then reprogrammed a type-accepted MURS-only radio or something.
Oh, and just look at this...

The license power is 100.000 watts or one hundred watts.HUH??? If you actually read 47CFR90.427 (b) then you would know what the issue is.
a LICENCED station (WQVL958) being modified to Tx on frequencies not authorized by the license.
Where did you come up with the MURS reference? This is a station authorized to Tx @ 100,000 watts
Pretty cut and dried.
Once you start talking about commercial services you are talking about a whole different ballgame.
