These little beauties as you put it, are not compatible with GMRS or
LMRS rules - Part 90.


Not all countries have Part 90.. Or GMRS or FRS

However.. It would be a simple matter for the manufacturer to make two
ROM chips.. one limits the transmiter to the US ham bands (or to the
Extended ham bands (MARS/CAP) and the other does not.

If they did that it would work like my other radios..I can receive NOAA
wather, GMRS,,FRS and more..BUT THEY WILL NOT TRANSMIT on those frequencies.

But with these they are full coverage.. Both TRANSMIT and RECEIVE
