2-way radios I own a 14 channel, bellsouth 1007 2-way radio. And I own a 22 channel, bellsouth 2231 2 way radio. Should they be able to communicate with each other through the first 14 channels?

In addition to the Channel, we also call the Frequency, there are sub tones on each channel. You must have the channel and sub tone match in order to "hear" each other. I found a manual:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/3783989/Bellsouth-2231-frs-gmrs-radio-instructions

It should. 15 channels = 7 FRS, 8 GMRS. Those are all the frequencies available. The problem could come from setting the "tone" or privacy codes. Make certain those all match and they will talk. The 1080 has 38 privacy codes, I cannot find the 2280. Typically the 22 would mean higher power.

Sanity check. Make sure the radios are on the same channel. They shouldn't have to be "sync'd" The channel freqs are all hard set and can't be changed to my knowledge.

Hello AlBitz,

The Bellsouth FRS radios were actually made by a company called US Electronics. Their branding agreement with Bellsouth ended in 2005 but they are continuing to sell radios that are very similiar to the ones they made under the Bellsouth name. These radios are marketed under the name Xact.

Your best bet to locate a manual for the Bellsouth 1061 radio may be contacting Xact. Their website is located at: http://www.xactcommunication.com.

Hey!

My name is Tony DeMil. I have some other 2276s that work well if you're interested!

Make me an offer. Or, do you have a manual? I also have other models. I came across a bunch in a lost and found sale.
