I think he meant by transmitting out of the
ham band WITH a ham band antenna
you might damage the final output stage
by having a high SWR.
However, if you use an antenna designed to transmit
on those frequencies you should be OK.

You do realize that the radio is not type accepted for GMRS so it's
not legal to transmit there. Mods are not needed for receive.

Also, since it is outside the band it was designed to work in, there's
an increased risk of blowing the finals.
