ICOM IC-A14 need help

[xbsa666]

Hi,
I own a ICOM IC-A14 and use it for Power paragliding it is a great radio , but it works only in a Air Band frequency118.000-136.975 MHz, now here is my problem for use in free flight (not power) paragliding everybody uses Land frequency 136–174MHz so my question would be, is it any way to expand Airband frequency on this radio to be able to use it for Land frequency , than i can use same helmet and same equipment. I know it is posible for Yezzo radios by cutting a track in circuit bord ????

Short answer is no. land mobile uses FM modulation, airband uses AM modulation.
