A bit late to the party but this may no longer be an issue as I ordered a pair of Beofeng UV-9G on 2/8/23. Although the device had all but ONE of the radio features programmed correctly, both devices do have the FM radio feature. (The NOAA bands were still in the scan list. But this was easily disabled via CHIRP...on my MAC nonetheless.) Very pleased with these GMRS HT's.
