I don't know specifics on those radios but way back in the late 90's I worked at a business and we had a set of commerical walki-talkis or however you spell that... Anyway the radios were set to transmit on a specific commerical radio repeater and receive on the repeaters output freq. So the end result is that if you get away from the repeater far engough where you can't hit it with a strong signal from the radio you have a boat anchor as the radios will not transmit directly to each other.
That may can be solved by programming but that seemed to be a fairly common practice back then. I don't knwo what a radio shop would charge to program the radios, some of which have propietary software you have to buy in order to alter the configurations of the radio itself.
You certainly would want to know if the radios can transmit and receive on the same frequencey or if not can they be modifed or configured to do so and if so at what cost $$.
My answer is that I think you would be better served to look at something else (just my view). Of course the "man" would want to know if you have proper lic coverage if you got the things to work.
