Yes, the better ones are for you to program yourself.
Not much to reset. Think of programing as setting place markers for each frequency that matches frs/gmrs channels. They typically don't come preprogrammed in a sense that it has not saved specific frs/gmrs frequencies.
Ignore 22 Vs 16 channels. What you need to look at is how many channels you can save.
Setup a cheat sheet with all frs/gmrs channel frequencies so that you can key up any frequency other people want to use.
I always have a frequency cheat sheet since I've only saved/programed frs/gmrs base/main channels
x-0. Included in my list are subtones or CTCSS as well as NOAA channels.
