I think the PMR crowd across the pond already has this luxury!  
(Edit- Just realized you mentioned this as well)

The XT420 looks like an RMU series radio made to operate on PMR! That’d make a killer FRS radio 🙂

Of course, there are those “consumer” features that I do appreciate… Such as NOAA radio (Which I know Moto has added to at least one of ther professional radios). Regardless, as a “buy it for life” kinda guy, yeah- I’m with you here.
