Is this possible at all?

That does not count as an adaptation.
- VLM 8y agoMaybe 40 years ago toward the end of the CB fad (CB was kinda the boomer generations version of the current social media fad) vacuum tube medium to high power external amps were (and still are) a thing for ham radio use and toward the higher end of the HF frequency range they struggled to achieve 10 dB of gain, at least with simpler designs and cheaper tubes, so stick a simple low pass filter in the input that rolls off to 10 dB of loss by 11 meters and you've ruined the amp for illegal CB use while all a technically knowledgeable ham has to do to operate legally on the ham 10 meter band is short the low pass filter out with a piece of wire. It depends a bit on your filter topology, blocking the input can be shorted as per above, whereas filter elements shorting to ground you'd have to snip one wire. Usually the advertisements in the magazines would mention obtusely "snip one wire for full legal coverage" or "solder one wire for reversible full legal coverage".
