I'm not sure whether there's an exception for low-powered transmitters, but if I remember correctly the FCC prohibits using a regulated service over another regulated service (or something along those lines-been a while since I took my amateur radio tests) in the US. There shouldn't be a technical limitation, but it may be disabled in the firmware for legal reasons.
