FM refers to the type of MODULATION, where as UHF and VHF refer to specific FREQUENCY bands.

What you should be in the market for is a FM 2way radio that operates on the 440-470MHz UHF band, which is capable of 12.5kz channel stepping/spacing.

You need to educate yourself on radio theory before you blow money on a radio that won't be able to talk to anyone else.
