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).<br>

I think the answer is that GMRS equipment manufacturers want to
sell their stuff and defray the costs of type approval for the
band.</div>
