Greg,
Don't hold me to this but I believe these are UHF 1 Watt radios using some of the itinerant UHF frequencies. I believe there are 8 channels on this radio to pick from and 38 privacy codes per channel. Yes, they are using the new 280/289 body style. There are some new accessories to go along with the new GT+ radios but from what I know, many of the 280/289 accessories work with them.
I'm not sure if they scan or how the scan would work.
These are NOT FRS radios and you are to get a license if you use them. I believe the applications are in the box.
If you need help finding the radios I know of a company in Oregon who sells them.
I hope this helps some. :)
