actually some frequencies overlap, so there is interoperability.
downside is the licence requirement, upside is they can go to 2 watts
instead of FRS's .5 watt limit on transmit power.
I'm not sure if I've still got the frequency tables handy... my friend
and I went though and figured out all the interop frequencies 2-3 years
ago when he dug out his family's old GMRS radios and got a license for
them.
