Default Question about the ICOM 208H

Can the ICOM 208H be programmed to transmit and receive in the 456 Mhz to 462 Mhz range?

I have it in my jk.... I am not 100% sure but I believe it can be modded internally to accomplish this. I'll look into it for you..

What is the logic behind modifying to get this frequency range?

Being able to hit repeaters near where you wheel is a BIG plus in my books.
