Motorola Talkabout and Baofeng UV5Ra questions.

[rbeau30]

Yes you can, but frs maximum power is .5 watt and I think the low setting on the baofeng is 2.5 with the high setting being 5 watt... If you use the Baofeng for GMRS frequencies you need a license, and technically you cannot use the baofeng for GMRS because it accomodates a removable antenna.

Others can correct me if I am wrong please.

It says an FRS device must be manufactured to be so, and marked as an FRS device.
