Uniden#39;s floating, submersible gmrs/frs radios have tons of features and up to a 28-mile range. For more info visit www.westmarine.com

I'm on amazon and I need a communications unit for my farm and radios would be perfect. I'm looking at two products: Midland 1001Z 2-Way CB Radio, and Midland Outfitter Series GXT1050VP4 50-Channel 36-Mile Waterproof 2-Way GMRS Radio. Can you communicate well between these two products. I was wondering because they both say two way.

GMRS and CB are different frequencies.

I am planning to take a walkie talkie (Midland GXT-710VP3 26-Mile GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radio) to India. But, am wondering if it is legal to use there without any license or prior approval.

Not likely. Regulatory agencies within various countries have assigned different frequencies for different uses. The short range of the UHF band, where FRS/GMRS radios operate, has not necessitated international frequency coordination, so other countries use FRS/GMRS frequencies for other uses, such as police, fire, ambulance. When FRS/GMRS became popular in the United States, other countries followed the American lead, but they had to work around their pre-existing frequency allocations. Europe developed PMR446 radios near 446 MHz. Similar Chinese radios are near 409 MHz. Japan has similar radios near 420 MHz. Australia and New Zealand have UHF CB near 477 MHz. So, the likelihood that India would have allocated FRS/GMRS frequencies for similar use is slim. Check with the Indian embassy or an Indian consulate for more details. India is considered to have very bureaucratic radio regulation, so don't be surprised if there is a lot of red tape involved.

im talking about a 2 way frs/gmrs radio like this one: http://www.joessports.com/product/index. jsp?productId=2726646&cp=2660362.266 1336.875822

Is there a channel on these so you can talk to coast gaurd or something. Can you talk with cb or vhf radios with these?

Hi
For the best possible advice, I highly recommend you contact your local supplier or the Manufacturer....

I am thinking of buying a set of walkie talkie radios, they are frs/gmrs frequency, I PLAN TO USE them for fun, someone told me that in order to use these handheld radios like these that it may be neccesary to get a license from the FCC IS THIS TRUE OR FALSE ?
OK THAN IF I NEED A LICENSE TO USE THESE WALKIE TALKIES, WHERE AND HOW DO I GET ONE, AND ARE THEY SPENDY, AND HOW DO THEY CATCH PEOPLE WHO DONT GET THEM? WHY WOULD A LICENSE EVEN BE NECESSARY? ANY AND ALL INFO ON THE I WOULD APPRECIATE, THANKS BB
Sorry I new to this, as well new to this "ask" feature, but thus far, am thinking its great, thanks to you all, for the help, however, when I recieve the radios in the mail, will there be specifics in the instructions, maybe telling me what channels do and dont require a license, also are the channels that require a license, better in distance, and or quality etc, I would prefer the most range possible ,, also when I went to the fcc website, it asks what type of license am I it was very confusing etc, and not sure if the license has to re newed every year, and or how much,??,,

A license is required to use all GMRS frequencies. The website below will tell you how to get a license.
