Nope, same rules up here in Canuckland.
Err, no. Canada allows it.
I have an e-mail from the Department of Communications stating that as long as the crystal was made user accessble by the maufacturer, and the crystal is available to end-users from the manufacturer, then it is okay.
I contacted Horizon, and they told me that the crystal can be swapped within +-10 channels of the shipped channel on my 8103. They of course suggested always range checking too.
Also, our radios are less than 1 Watt, which means they fall into the magic category of low power unlicenced transmitter. This means that anything goes, as long as it does not cause interference with a licensed user. There are very few licensed users on 72 MHz in Canada, and the band hasn't had any new licences issued in many years.
