I would be very surprised about this. Modding CBs for 10m was a popular way to
enter the hobby once upon a time. I was led to believe US type approval was for
gear that was _sold_ as ham gear, but hams could build or modify anything they
wanted to, provided they met the technical specs. And a modded CB is fair game.
I would be _very_ surprised if a modded CB was illegal to use on the ham bands,
with the possible exception of UK and Aussie Foundation licensees - who
certainly couldn't modify one legally, and probably not use one someone else
modded either.
