Don't know about the F40GT but the Icom IC-F40LT had front panel programming capability, so did its VHF counterpart the IC-F30LT. Versions with high serial numbers (above 30000 if memory serves) were wide and narrowband capable. I still have one of each new in the box stowed away along with accessories and software. They were built tough and work fine. Some time ago I scanned the keypad programming guide into .pdf and it's been floating around the internet ever since. If anyone is interested in both of these radios and their accessories & software contact me off the reflector.
Also, let's not forget there are lots of FPP capable UHF XTS3000's and XTS5000's around today as well that work great on GMRS.
