Frequently Asked Questions
With items in all price ranges, Motorola has a great assortment of radios. They have two-way radios in their lineup with numerous power and functionality options for nearly every application.
Due to its ability to broadcast and receive radio signals, a two-way radio is sometimes referred to as a transceiver. In any scenario, the radio has two modes of operation: sending and receiving. A walkie talkie is a small, hand-held two-way radio that can be used for communication.
The term “private channel” is a misnomer. That’s a bunch of marketing nonsense, similar to the assertion made by these radios are useful up to 16 miles.
Press and hold for 3 seconds, then release to lock the radio. Press and hold the radio button for three seconds or until it disappears to unlock it. Change the Interference Code and Channel settings, then lock the radio again.
The operating range of two-way radio is between 30 MHz (Megahertz) and 1000 MHz, or 1 GHz (Gigahertz).
VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF are the two frequency ranges, or “frequency bands,” that are used by the majority of two-way radios (Ultra High Frequency). Is a common question we get. Neither is fundamentally superior; they both have advantages and disadvantages. Compared to UHF, VHF frequencies have stronger object penetration.
They presuppose a 50 watt mobile, 5/8 wave, 6 dB gain 5 watt handheld, and a 50 foot, 5/8 wave, omnidirectional base antenna. Urban Environment: Handheld to handheld distances of between half and one mile, mobile to handheld distances of up to two miles, and base to mobile distances of at least five miles.
The short answer is that you are legally allowed to use a two-way radio while driving, provided that it has no adverse effects on your ability to drive. It takes a little more explanation to fully understand the information that underlies this shortened response and that every two-way radio user should be aware of.
2 way radios are tough to trace. Even after the development of cell phones, two-way radios, often known as walkie-talkies, continue to be widely used. They are used by the military, law enforcement, event planners, security personnel, and many others. It is incredibly tough to track down two-way radios.
Most basic consumer radios won’t deliver anything close to this distance, despite the fact that many consumer radios boast a 30-mile range. A typical two-way radio can communicate over distances of between 0.5 and 2 miles.
All radios that support FRS and/or GMRS operate on the same frequencies, making them all interoperable. You should have no trouble communicating with one another if you utilize the same private code and channel on your devices.
The T800 radios are simply connected to the user’s smartphone through Bluetooth after downloading the TALKABOUT software to their iPhone or Android device. To deliver messages and locations over radio waves, the program uses the T800 as a modem.
PTT (push-to-talk) button: There are two primary uses for the PTT button on the radio’s side: Press and hold the PTT button to start a call and speak; let go to listen.
When two-way radios are operating on the same radio frequency, they can talk to one another. As a result, as long as they are using the same frequency, walkie talkies can connect with each other indefinitely.
Which Is Best When Comparing VHF and UHF Radios? In general, VHF (136-174MHz) transmissions perform better outside since they have a somewhat longer range for the same power output than UHF signals (400 – 470MHz).
