They do not share channels, and cannot talk to each other. In most =
cases, a cell phone is better for emergencies, although nothing will =
work everywhere. If you get into a canyon or behind the wrong hill, =
everything quits working.
FSR has a range of a mile or two, while CB is more, if you have a good =
unit, but both are line of sight. Cell phone service gets spotty in the =
mountains as well.

Here's a question; do CB and FRS radios share channels? Can the two =
radios communicate? Since I have been known to hike several miles away =
from civilization, my spouse would really like it if I could keep in =
touch with the outside world somehow in case I had an emergency, etc., =
etc. I am wondering what might be the best type to carry.
