Can the Anytone AT-878-UVii still be unlocked for GMRS?

[WSJL659]

I already searched the forums and didn't find the answer I was looking for. 

 

I recently purchased an Anytone AT-878UVii and I noticed that the box  now states the factory frequency range on the UHF side is from 420-450mhz. I know the earlier units with the same model number were listed on the box from 400-490mhz. 

 

Is this the same unit as they were before, and still capable of being opened up to transmit and receive "out of band"? I am thinking the packaging has simply been updated for US sales. 

 

Has anyone unlocked a recently manufactured unit with the 420-450mhz range listed on the box?

 

Thank you in advance!

I know the older model can. See attached files for more info on the radios.

Adam,

When you use the CPS for the radio there’s one place where you can set the range of the radio. What choices do you see there?  That should answer your question.
