A completely legal alternative is with a ham HT, with extended RX and

Not sure what you are suggesting here. Why leave the GMRS radio off?

No other reasons than saving batteries, and only listening to one rig.

It is certainly legal to use a ham HT to listen to anything but cel
conversations, but very illegal for use to transmit on GMRS
frequencies.

The poster I was replying to mentioned modding the ham radio to TX on
FRS/GMRS, as well as RX. If extralegal suggestions are made, those
getting them should be fully aware of that fact.
