They can but as it would only be of use to the US market, it will need a US manufacturer to develop and sell them. The radio probably only has the internal space for one module so some design of intelligent outboard transverter is the way to go.

Wasn't sure of the VHF bands available in Europe. 70 mHz always stuck in my mind because I recall seeing it occasionally on the European Packet Clusters.

70MHz is used but 50MHz is much more common.
