Most of the Baofangs Handy Talkies are ready to do so. You can check-out a list and ratings of them, here.

The front-end on my Kenwood TM-741A tribander, from the mid-1990's, is far superior in rejecting that. Then again, I'm comparing a +$800.00 Japanese radio to a $130.00 Chinese one. Still, in a setting that's not too RF saturated, the Chinese rigs are a nice, cheap, alternative. Now, my FCC C.Y.O.F'n.A., if you are going to use such radios on GMRS, MURS, and the commercial two-way areas, be sure that the radio is marked as Part 95 Certified to do so. Today, most Part 95 two-way radios will do the Part 97 HAM stuff, which is legal to do, as long as you have your HAM ticket. So, what's the difference in Part 95 and Part 97 today? Part 97 radios can be programmed with the DTMF keypad on the radios, while Part 95 can only be programmed via computer software only. RF circuitry-wise??? No real difference, really. Hope that this helps. This should help explain that better.
