I inquired to the guys at QRPver to see if their single-band QRPver1.3 radio can be extended out to receive the mountain radio service frequencies. The default radio covers only the the 80m amateur band on both tx and rx - but for my backcountry use the ability to receive the nightly mountain and long-range weather forecast on 3.261 / 3.345 USB is a necessity.
The response was that yes - this can be done so long as you let them know before you order. I hope the info is of use to someone.
Note that I did not inquire about transmission on the mountain radio service frequencies.

Hi dear Matt
Yes, it can be done during the manufacture of the device. You just need
to contact us before ordering.

However in addition to the 80m amateur band, I also need to be able to receive the 'mountain radio service' weather forecast broadcasts on
3.261MHz and 3.345 MHz, USB. Is it possible to open up the receive on
the 80m radio to receive these?

If you are able to do this, I am sure that you will receive many more
orders from New Zealand - as being able to receive weather forecasts is a
requirement for most field users.
