NO.
Frs etc are on UHF on or about 462.000++ Mhz. The CB crowd is at 27.405 for "channel 40" and going down from there every 15 KC as I recall.

There are times on club runs that we have a guest or a new member without a radio. We try to loan them a CB if possible. If not, we will loan them one of these FRS/GMRS handhelds so they can communicate with at least one other club member. Take your pair with you and ask someone to carry one of them and keep you in the communication loop.
A few years ago, a few members tried the FRS/GMRS radios to replace the CB radio but the results were dismal. Too little range... too low of volume... unwieldy to talk and listen on the handheld... short battery life. They have some uses though and can be handy around camp with the family.
