As far as I am aware, the Baofengs only blocked it in firmware and there's some hacks to unlock it without hardware mods.
Also, did you buy that last one in the US or from somewhere like AliExpress? If the former, could have just been old stock, if the latter, I am not really surprised.

US, could have been old stock, could have been "yeeeeahhhh...firmware...." because it was like 3mo ago lol.

Either way "leave ~~Brittney~~ Baofeng alone!" I like my shitty illegal radios that can broadcast on the convenient channels at .5w too high!
