Q: Is FRS 2 way frequencie the same thing as GMRS 2 way in other words are they the same THING
A: They are sort of the same thing. You really cannot buy FRS radios any more. GMRS radios, however, also work on FRS frequencies. There are seven FRS channels, and modern GMRS radios cover those frequencies, but at FRS power limits (1/2 watt). There are seven channels that are shared between FRS and GMRS, but you need a GMRS license to use high power. There are seven channels that are GMRS only. FRS and GMRS radios can talk to each other as long as the GMRS radios only use FRS frequencies -- plus the numbers on the display might be different. Wikipedia has a nice summary of GMRS -- just search. I hope this helps.
A: Each unit takes three batteries.
Q: How long does the average fully charged battery last and how long is the thr charge time?
A: The battery pack charges in about 3- hours and the daily battery life is about 6-7 hours minimum.
Q: Will these charge and operate while plugged in to a car USB port?
A: Yes, they sure will!
Q: Can these use non rechargeable batteries and what size
A: YES -SHOULD BE DOUBLE A
Q: Can I take it on a flight to India
A: I don't think so. These radios use a frequency allocation from the FCC for use in the US. This is not an international allocation. I could be wrong.
A: They put out 2.8 watts and they do require a license to legally operate them on channels that are not FRS.
Q: Can 4-6 of these radios be used together if they're on the same channel?
A: Yes. As many that are in range operating on the same channel will work. We had 4 going during a car trip. One radio in each of the four cars.
