Will 2-way Walkie Talkie work with CB?

[82rustbeast]

Is there a way to get my two-way walkie talkies to be picked up on my cb frequencies?

If your 2 Way walkie-talkies are on the CB band then the frequencies would be the same and you could use them with each other.

If your walkie-talkies are the FRS/GMRS type then the answer is no.

Here's why;

1 - The CB is AM (Amplitude Modulation) and the FRS/GMRS radios are FM (Frequency Modulation).  The easiest way to think about this would be as if 2 people speaking different languages were trying to talk to each other.

2 - The frequency of the CB Channels are; 26.965 MHz (CH-1) to 27.405 MHz. (CH-40).  The GMRS frequencies are; 462.550 MHz. to 467.725 MHz. The FRS frequencies are; 462.5625 MHz. to 467.7125 MHz. The FRS frequencies are sandwiched in between the GMRS channels.

The difference in frequency would make them incompatible with the CB.
