Hi Roger
You are correct about modifying a ham radio for marine ssb however the reverse
is not true. A properly licensed ham can build radios if he wants. You can
build from whatever starting place you want. Hams are responsible for not
transmitting outside allocated frequencies or causing interference to others.
The radios need not be type rated. If you build ham radios for sale to others
then they must be type rated. Also you can't technically do the mod for
someone else. This is in the US. I know there are some places where that is
not true.
