besides the radio shack htx 420 / are there any other radios, preferably
dual band tranceiver that can transmit on the FRS channels as well

If there are, they won't be able to do so legally unless the
output power gets stepped down to FRS levels when the FRS channel is
selected.

That is one issue, but if they are not type accepted with all of the
limitations intended for FRS, it is not legal to transmit, no matter
how modified.

Ah! Thanks, Gary, excellent point. I'd forgotten that FRS radios
need to be type accepted as well.
