My Anytone 778UV will tune to AND transmit on the GMRS 
frequencies/channels. Since transmissions are NOT band restricted on 
this inexpensive radio, you do need to be careful. For example, observe 
the 5 Watt limit on channels 1 - 7 and do not transmit at all on 
channels 8-14 that are restricted to 0.5 Watts  (not to mention 
transmitting if monitoring local law enforcement).
