AFAIK no they will not be legal as they are on a different band (or part of)
(i think you will find frs [USA ones] is right in the middle of the police
channels in some european countries)
446Mhz is the european standard and it is unlicenced 500mW max.

I just bought a pair of FRS / GMRS radios and planning on bringing them
to Europe (i.e. Austra, Germany and Switzerland). Does anyone know if
FRS legally being used in those countries? If so, if I purchase a GMRS
license, am I going to be benefitted from the longer range reception
from the GMRS in Europe?

Thanks!
