Please read the section titled, "Amateur Radio Exception". Then, ponder the both the privilege you are afforded...as well as the legal responsibility you are bound by as you rightfully continue to use these devices.
There is no drama here. Carry on.

Amateur equipment has no Certification
(formerly type acceptance) except for commercial
amplifiers/linears potentially capable of 11 meter frequency
operation.
Previously managed a certification
lab.

Not intended to throw any cold water
on this,
but are there any restrictions that
might exist in using
these radios on amateur frequencies?
FCC Equipment Authorization (formerly
known as Type Acceptance) is specific
about what radio
services a product is certified for
use on, although there
have been some exceptions for amateur
use.
Just something to double check.

Apparently the Motorola VRM650 UHF
data
radio should be available for almost
free by the hundreds.
These are Motorola VRM650 modems
which
I think are a 40 Watt MCS2000 radio
with a different
faceplate and only a DB9 rs232 port.
We need to figure out an APRS
application and figure out how to use
them.
Apparently they are being forced out
by
FCC rules changes on the commercial
bands.
But we need someone that knows how
they
network together with data… AS-IS to
see if we can use as
is for some kind of Amateur Network.
The first thing that comes to mind
for
me is to build the 2000 mile links
along the Appalachians!
We test the path every year in the
GOlden Packet Event: http://aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html
Here is the link on the above page to
our dreams for an East Coast
backbone.
