Do you mean GMRS Radios that you can actually program? Icom is what I use. More specifically I use the IC-F40GT. Works great.

Field programmable means they are not factory programmed. Most commercial radio are field programmable. How they are programmed varies, some require software and a few are front panel programmable.

Many of them are out there. A lot of them you can even get the programming cables/software with purchase (but not with Motorola). Many radio's these days will hold minimum 16 channels, some over 200!

Just go to eBay and do a search for UHF equipment.

As mike said check ebay. The kenwood TK 805D that I have is only 16ch. but I can prog.it without a laptop and its dpl/pl both at 50 watts and allows non-standard tones. There are usually a few on ebay or eham.
