Not only is that done, most of the commercial radios have counterparts in
ham rigs! The major difference is usually the ham rig having many more
functions.
Even so, I am unaware of any comercial radio being type accepted for more
than one service such as GMRS and Marine, even if the only difference is
the front panel!
