The original post described a commercial HT ... operating WAY OUT of the 2M and 440 amateur bands. For marketing and sales within the United States, FCC certification is required.
Do people purchase non-FCC-certified commercial rigs and use them on the amateur bands? Yes.
Is it legal to do so? No.
It might be illegal in the US, but it's not illegal in the UK. Over here, you are responsible for operating your equipment in-band, no-one else. Certainly not the manufacturer.
