The GMRS/FRS radios are ok if you want to use them to talk closer and don't want a HAM license. You program the Baofeng radios. I use CHIRP. It's pretty easy you do need a cable for it though.

You should get a license since the BF radios are 5 watt radios. But in an emergency, I would use them anyway.

Testing the Motorola radios side by side the Baofengs beat them literally by miles. Midlands are the same.
