Do we have to install the radio frequencies on these ourselves?

Looks and sounds like the Retevis H-777 which we use at work for intercom purposes. They work OK for cutting through cinder block walls and rack warehouses full of stuff, so they will likely be just as good through rolling hills and foliage. Just be sure you set them up for Narrow bandwidth or the audio will be really really low.
Finally broke down and picked up a set. Any word on spare batteries for the UV5R?
Ordered 2 of these to get my order over $200.. just need them for camping/backpacking and traveling in a group. Hopefully FSR-GMRS channels are pre programmed already on these.

When you get the programming cable, you install the CHIRP software on your PC. You can then either manually enter the frequencies and titles, or you can import them from the spreadsheets on the Radio Reference site. These radios will pick up all the automated weather frequencies, Canadian and US Coast Guard frequencies, GMRS and FRS frequencies ect....
