#1. It was carelessly handled by its owner and abused
#2. It was programmed out of ban on ham radio frequencies
#3. Due to carelessness and neglect the radio was eventually crushed by a forklift

I know hams like to muck about with commercial radios but it really gets under my skin when they come into my shop reprogrammed by 3rd party non oem software to ham radio frequencies.
That alone has prompted me to password lock all new radios PC interface programming after we initially program them.
