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.

Q. I'm looking to buy an earpiece for a motorola radio. I volunteer for a local organisation where we provide cover at local events. We communicate through two way radios but the brand of motorola seems to depend on whatever the event organisers give us. I found an earpiece online that is compatible for a number of motorola radios but how many brands are there?
A. Motorola is the brand. There are various different models of Motorola two way radios. I would go to the Motorola website to see how many models are currently available from Motorola.
How to get Motorola Talkabout T5500 radios to "talk" to each other?
Q. I just got a pair of these walkie talkies and there is no manual. How do I get them to "talk" to each other?
A. Turn both radios on, both radios have to be on the same channel 1-22. Both radios have to have the same security code. That's the little number up in the right hand corner of the screen.
Both radios will be compartable and talk to each other.
Be at least 5 feet from each other when keying mikes.
Make sure to obtain your FCC license before using.
