Just beginning to dabble into amateur radio. In doing research it seems that most of the radios sold in the US have locked frequencies for "channels" that don't require a license.
Where would I find instructions on unlocking or modifying a new radio. I am looking for something similar to a TYT TH-9800.

I don't know the answer to your question but figured I'd chime in with a comment. With murs and frs radios ... the radios are licensed so the operator doesn't need to be, but they're locked in to certain channels and power. Ham radios arent locked in to certain channels or powers because the operator is what's licensed and should know what freq to operate on. Most radios listed as "amateur radios" aren't locked to specific channels because they're meant for ham operators.
yeah... I think I'm finding out after 2021 many of the amateur radios started being locked and are unable to transmit on frs, gmrs, or others. I'm also just trying to figure this out so I could be completely wrong.
