I did not think you could just take any commercial radio and use it for ham bands with out the FCC Type Acceptance Certificate. This is what held up a least one "super" ham radio manufactured in Europe from going to market. Or am I missing something here?

We (Hams) have been converting commercial (and miliraty) gear for decades.
To 'Offer for sale", any transmitting equipment must be type certified for the 'market' they are offering to.
For commercial market (LMR, police etc.) this needs Part 90 certification and type acceptance. Same goes for Ham rigs and the specs in Part 97.
Once you take a commercial type accepted radio and bring it into the Part 97 realm, you just need to conform to the emissions requirements of our section of CFR Title 47, Part 97.
