Q. I use one of these for my job & it got me curious. How far do these go? I tried searching online, but doesn't say. How are these different from a regular walkie talkie?
A. Not sure what a cp radio is. If you meant CB, then figure a hand held would be good for a few miles, a mobile might be good out to 10-15 miles and a base station might be good for 30 miles. All of these assume a very good antenna, and they disregard the "Skip" signals that go much farther but not reliably.
What frequency does my Motorola Talkabout radios operate at. Is there other brands that use those frequency?

What is the difference between FRS & GMRS with the motorola two-way radios?
Q. I am going on a cruise in the caribean and would like to get some simple hand held radios to keep in touch with family & friends. While shopping for radios I noticed that some are FRS and some are GMRS. Does anyone know the difference and benefits of each?
A. FRS & GMRS are on different frequencies (i.e., channels), and different rules apply. FRS is limited to half a watt of power and has other restrictions, like non-detachable antennas. Some GMRS channels can be used with up to 50 watts, while others are limited to five watts, although most handheld radios don't put out more than a watt or two.
If you are going on a cruise in the Caribbean, you may be under the jurisdiction of several countries, as well as the captain of the ship, so you might need permission and/or licenses from those jurisdictions. In the United States, a GMRS license is $85 for five years and can be easily obtained online through the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) at http://wireless.fcc.gov by first obtaining a FRN, then using the FRN to obtain the license.
As was mentioned, don't believe the advertised range of the handheld radios, especially if they will be used in a metal structure like a ship.
