On the Motorola side for FPP, you'd pretty much be limited to HT1550
(bling, hard to find used, need fpp battery) or JT1000 (hard to find
as well, need FPP key/dongle).
The Icom IC-F40GT was rumored to have FPP, but I've not seen a valid
example surface (and all the tricks I have seen, I've tried
you can do that with a Kenwood 3180 or NX-300
we sell them all that time for that use.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GMRS HT recommendation
Don't know about the F40GT but the Icom IC-F40LT had front panel programming
capability, so did its VHF counterpart the IC-F30LT. Versions with high serial
numbers (above 3 if memory serves) were wide and narrowband capable. I
still have one of each new in the box stowed away along with
I have a few Motorola GP68 FPP Radios I got from China/Ebay. They're great
little radios and around 70$ shipped each. Have both UHF and VHF models.
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
Now to figure out what I can sell off to finance this acquisition

Looking for a recommendation for an HT for GMRS use which is either fully
keypad programmable, or at least capable of changing tones from the keypad.
A tone scan feature would be nice, but not a necessity...
