A lot of the old ICOM and Yaesu radios were easy to open up for full range function. My multiband ICOM HT only required desoldering one resistor. After that could broadcast on 2M and 440, GRMS, police/fire/emergency bands, and even the comm system radios my employer used. Haven't kept up, but today's radios are probably just as easy to unlock.

Great. I think I could raid the local equivalent of the Japanese Hard-Off thrift stores for those radios.
