Yes, if you're talking on frs/gmrs freq, anyone with a frs/gmrs would be able to hear you, and you them. However, if you have frs/gmrs freq programmed in, in addition to some 'uhf' freqs, you'll be able to communicate with other airsoft players on your side who do not have uhf radios, and if you need a secure channel, you just switch to a non-frs/gmrs channel. Trust me, it's very useful to have those channels on your radio, I used them all the time, as even with the avaliablity of cheap UHF these days, many players still use frs/gmrs. The other handy thing is that a 5 watt uhf can 'defeat' the privacy subchannels on a frs/gmrs radio, very useful for games where you're allowed to listen in on the enemy. I used mine for this task in the 'tacsits' milsims, and it was very useful.
