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

My old Alinco DJ-580 will do FRS at around 5 watts.

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.

Yes, just a little bit smarter than the average bear.

And you were smart enough to figure that out. ;-)

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

In emergencies, all restrictions are null and void.

Else one is condoning death an/or dismemberment because of 'man-made'
regulations.

I bet if your life were on the line you'd voluntarily give it up so as
not to violate the 'man-made' regulations. N'est ce pas?
