2 way radios?

[Brian 89 325i]

Are all 2 way radios compatible if they are on the same channel? My friend and i are going to get some 6mile uniden 2 ways but most people have the motorola talk abouts so we were wondering if we could still communicate? Thanks

yes, they all operate on the same bands that are open for those type of radios.

Oh sweet, then its ok, What about an FAA licence. I know anything over 2 miles usually requires them. How do they know if you dont? How hard is it to get one? Thanks

If you can buy these 2-way radios and there's nothing mentioned about getting an operators license then I wouldn't worry about it. Quite honestly I didn't think that was required with portable radios. If I'm mistaken someone please clarify.

FRS radio=2 mile range, no license needed.

GMRS radio=5 mile range, license needed.
