You could try the "pressing-the-shift-key-while-entering-the-numbers" hack in the RSS.

The radio and/or the software may or may not accept the entry though.

You may be out of luck then.

You'll have to find a real 403-433 split GP300.

You will have to modify your .mdf file, as per the instructions on Batlabs:

hello all,

on the GP300 select V rss, the mdf file doesn't exist...
which version is your rss, i can send you the good modified file for your uhf

Well, with a hex edit, looking for the frequencies in hexa so you found 438000000 in hexa : 80591B1A and replace by 403000000 in hexa C04A0518, in all adress probably 4 or 8 time in the file, and restart your program!

Now you can put all frequencies between 403 to 470 MHz, 1 when you put a frequencies sometime it can beep and write "Cannot select tuning bin reference number", dont worries. now the radio can be program on all frequencies in 403 to 470, but pll can't lock on all the new split, with some tests an 433 can up and run at 443Mhz not more and an 438 can down and run at 429 or 428 Mhz
