Can a Motorola MT2000 in VHF or a Ht1000 in UHF be programmed out of band for Ham use? I do have the legal RSS for these radios.

No need to go out of band for VHF as both radios you mention cover 136-174 MHz as is. For UHF, if you have the low split model (designated by an R in the model number) they cover 403-470. The high split models (designated by an S) can easily be programmed to work down to 440 by using the "Shift" trick.
