Yes - if the are your typical commercial-off-the-shelf radios purchased in any department or sporting goods store. These "walkie-talkies" are "FRS/GRMS" Radios. Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GRMS) use unlicensed frequencies in the 462 to 467 MHz range (UHF). You need to set all of the radios to the same channel (these have 7 FRS channels and 15 GRMS channels) with the channel selector on each radio. Additionally, since these also have a privacy code selector -- all radios need to have the same privacy code selected. Or, if some radios do not have a privacy code -- leave it deselected. It is easy to select channel and privacy code - just follow the menu on the radios. While these say "up to x miles" of range coverage -- the range you will experience depends heavily on terrain (e.g, the more hills or mountains - the less range), interference from other radio sources, and the strength of your battery.
