how do you go about getting two of these to communicate with one another?
if 2 were to be brought for a business, would they be ok communicating like that?

which ones can communicate with others?

It's not an actual cb radio so no.

says 8 miles on the actual product description. but i presume this would be on an open field in the middle of no-where

i would say we would be around 2-3 miles apart in the inner city

doubt these will be any good then, for that distance you will need more professional radios like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-MOTOROLA-GP340-TWO-WAY-PROFESSIONAL-VHF-RADIOs_W0QQitemZ5834805698QQcategoryZ72405QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You would be better spending the money on free minutes for your phone contract.
