Ok i don't mean to take side here but this what we are talking about know what your talking about before you open or write it down. The USB/LSB does not give you more channels it is a mode of operation on the same channels it still only has 40 preset freq to operate on you just have different modes to operate on the same freq. I know you read the box and the advertizment well that was to get you to buy the radio its not so.

Just as info, you are not alone in the use of frequencies outside CB and amateur. I will only go so far as to say that I, too, have----shall we say---certain military frequency authorizations governed by NTIA and USAF Frequency Management. To go further would violate OPSEC. In fact it is this relationship with the military that has influenced my attitude towards CB and radio in general, and that military training that has caused a kind of rigid adherence to the rule of law and regulations. Indeed, it is for this reason that I hold foolishness such as found on CB, the "extra" channels that CBers think they have some right to, and its own flaunting of rules that govern its own operations as well as those of services that outlaw CBers think they have a right to filch.
Now, if you are REALLY connected with a military service, you would know that, contrary to your disdain for regulations that govern radio operations of various kinds, there ARE frequency assignments above and below the CB band. Now as to whether they are used or not, they are STILL assigned there and CAN be used. If an interloper IS found there, it will not matter how long he has considered this his "extra" special channel, he will still be brought up on charges for interfering IF a particular service wishes to use said frequencies.
There IS A protocol used by both the military and civilian authorities called
"ALE" which stands for "Automatic Link Establishment". It is for High Frequency what Trunking is for VHF and UHF. Basically, what happens is the radios themselves sample frequencies all thru out the agency's HF assignments to find which frequency is best for the traffic. Each radio in the network sends out a "handshake" signal and "talks" to each radio in the network thousands of times a second (during the sampling). Instead of a "set" channel, the radio selects the frequency without the operator necessarily knowing which frequency he is on. All HE knows is, he sends traffic to the "net" and the radio(s) in the net respond either individually thru a tone signal or collectively within the net. If there happens to be some clown yapping on the chosen frequency, there there'll be trouble in River City!!!! Thus, if the conditions are favoring those frequencies up around, then there won't be any choice in the matter: the network will choose that set of frequencies for the traffic and take note of any interference created. So this ain't about "Gadfly". I have a lot more access to restricted frequencies (including FEMA) than you know, a lot more knowledge about radio communications than YOU know (and a lot of fun at the Officer's Club)!
You can rail against people who object to people on the amateur bands without license and it won't change a thing. It is, legally, the same thing as ME waltzing into your house and helping myself to a T-bone steak in your fridge! In THAT scenerio, I am stealing something from YOU! YOU
bought and PAID for that steak, and there are laws against theft to protect people from thieves! In the case of radio, the licensees of radio services "paid" for their license either thru doing what the Government ASKED them to do for the privilege, or by purchasing the use of block(s) of frequencies. Either thru money or by testing (in the case of the amateurs). Those who did NOT earn their right to operate radios either by testing for the license OR by $$$ have NO right, no business, no REASON to be "on them channels". Period. So those who DID do what was required RESENT the persence of interlopers on their frequencies and will do what they MUST to REMOVE them from said frequencies! Same as YOU if you found ME stealing a steak from YOU. YOU will either call the cops, or take direct action against ME, the thief! THAT'S exactly what will happen when WE find CBers ON 10 Meters! Locate, document, report.
There is a new "sheriff" in town with a recent appointment as Special Counsel for Amateur Enforcement up at FCC. I am sure this person is going to be very receptive to the complaints of the amateurs about outlaw CBers on "them channels"!
