Default 19 set legalities

Can anyone enlighten me on the legalities of operating a 19 set?

You can legally use the A set if you have at least passed the amateur radio exam with basic plus 5 wpm morse code or basic plus honours. This entitles you to use the HF bands.

The B set falls outside of the authorized bands so legally you shouldn't use it. If you have an advanced class license you could probably tweek the B set from 235 MHz down to the 220-225 MHz band.

In the old days when we actually had enforcement it was against the law to own a transmitter unless you were duly licensed. I don't think there is much enforcement anymore.

There are many 19 sets (and other mil rigs) on the air around the world.

Thanks for chiming in gentlemen. I had heard of the B set being a no-no to operate because of the frequencies used. Just looking for confirmation.
