Not necessarily so. OK if you're reworking old PMR stuff to operate on the amateur bands - and have a 'full' license - you can pretty much do what you like so long as it doesn't crash Mrs. Bucket's TV reception.

If you're going to be operating on current PMR frequencies, with a PMR license, your gear needs to be compliant with current standards. A couple of decades back I had to junk a load of such gear because its manufacturer-specified frequency-accuracy was 'questionable' under the then-current criteria.
