If you are buying all of the same brand radios then no, they won't have any problems working together. You may run into problems mixing different brands though.

I haven't had any probs with different walkie talkies working together, but better safe than sorry.

The chances are slim that you would run into any problems, but yeah better safe than sorry. Just by the same brands and you're good to go.

Link not working me.
It doesn't matter the brand, just the frequency.
If it says 5 miles, it will work about one.

That is just so cynical. :|



But true. :(

Just make sure they use the same band (FRS and or GMRS).

You have to remember they are line of sight. If you can see the other radio from 5 miles away, it will work.

You can see something 4 inches tall from 5 miles away?

There's a penis joke there somewhere.

The penis is small. I am amused. With a spyglass your penis comes into view.

More like something six feet tall from 5 miles away. Unless you don't want to talk to anyone.
