Answer 4

You don't stipulate what radio service you have in mind, so that is a tough question. Walkie talkie units, due to their limited range, in most all services are more effective when used through repeaters. In the US, the CB band does not allow the use of repeaters so CB hand helds are very limited in range and are therefor used mostly in pairs or for close in communication with a mobile or base station. The frequency of interest here can be any of the 40 available and is a matter of choice. On the amature bands the choice of frequencies is generally determined by the availability of the local repeaters. Some special groups, such as motorcycle riders ( generally ch 1, 3, and 15) have their special choices. Ch 9 is still considered a 911 type of case and is used for mobile emergency communications. Ch 19 is used for traffic conditions and is referred to as the truckers channel. The FRS service doesn't seem to have any particular pattern that I have seen and the Marine service is pretty much regulated by regulations so I won't cover that here. Hope that helps you.

As long as they operate on the same frequency, they will work. There are a few different frequency ranges used for W-Ts. CB uses frequencies in the range of 27 MHz, with channels numbered from 1 to 40. Some CB W-Ts operate on only one or a few of the available channels; only the largest ones have either 23 or all 40 channels. For a single-channel unit, one must know or determine what channel or frequency it is set up for. Most single-channel ones are factory-set to channel 14. Then there are 49 MHz W-Ts, heavily promoted by Radio Shack 15 years or so ago, with a few channels (I don't remember if it was 3 or 5). And we now have FRS (no license required) and GMRS (license required) W-Ts, which share some frequencies in the 460 MHz range. So, you need to know which type of radio you are using, and possibly the channel number or frequency, but within any one type, the brand doesn't matter.
