To comply with the FCC (so they can keep selling radios) the newer Baofeng (et al) are being locked to only the bands with amateur frequencies. Not only is there not an easy fix, to my knowledge there is no fix except to find an older Baofeng.

A good friend just bought 2 ea of the subject radios and finds that both the FRS and GMRS transmit functions are "locked out". He can receive, but not transmit.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
I have not yet investigated this on the web, but thought I might ask here first.
