5300 VHF 100 Watt questions

So I just bought a 100 Watt VHF 5300, and I haven't even received it yet. The model code breakdown here makes my radio a 512 mode, trunking only, 146-174 model.

I bought the 5300 VHF series because they do so much, including 136-174, which I absolutely must have. Is there any way to make this radio do 136-174 and do 512 conventional modes? Or did I just burn a bunch of money on something I can never use?

Thanks, Brad
