Motorola T5700 Talkabout Series

You have the modulation problem. If you have hand free you connect it and try to send message, if other unit hear you then it mean your microphone has faulty and replace the microphone, the fault is in mic or other circuit from mic input to modulation device which may be any transistor , capacitor or any resistance faulty. Consult with any Radio Service Shop.

Directions for programming the T5700 can be found starting on page 18 here http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T56XX_57XX_User_Manual_E.pdf

Directions for programming the T9500 can be found on page 1 under the heading MENU OPTIONS here http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage/manuals/Moto/T9500%20FINAL%20-%20English%20only%20all%20rights%20reserved%20and%20call%20center%20email%2004-24-07.pdf

These two radios have many similar features, but some which differ. For best results leave all the special features such as Qt filter, call alert, and interference eliminator codes, turned off or set to zero until you get the radios to function in a basic mode on just the same channel as one another. Then once you've found what works, you can experiment adding special features, if desired.

Best regards.

No, T5700 radios operate on UHF FM frequencies in the 450-470 MHz range. CBs will not communicate with them.

Hi,

Unfortunately yes. More often than not the pin/wiring arrangements are different, if not the physical sizes and dimensions, not to mention electrical characteristics such as impedance, common ground, ptt and VOX feature. If it is just an earpiece or headphones that is required, then any such accessory would do and it would be a matter of replacing the plug and/or rewiring the connection points.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi,

Most radios of this series would have Interference Eliminator Codes. The codes eliminate other incoming transmission not with the same code (number). There could be similar radios working on the same channel/frequency, but if they do not have the same code then neither one would hear each other. This does not make a channel "private", rather it limits what one can hear on that channel to another radio with an identical setting of the code. In some Motorola models, pressing the Menu button until the small numbers/code flashes would enable them to be changed. To change, press the + or - keys. Pressing the MON key or setting the code to Zero would enable the radio to receive and sound off all incoming signals with or without the code.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hello Krisso,

Your best bet is likely going to be contacting Motorola directly. Their parts department may have the charger available. Their product support number is 1-800-353-2729.

Best Regards,

Hello Player1985,

I don't think there is any easy way to check to see if the radios are stolen or not based on the serial number. Motorola may have some record of this assuming that the original owners reports the radios as stolen to them but most manufacturers do not track this information in my experience for these type of consumer radios. I don't know for sure whether Motorola would or would not have this information, but you certainly can check with them if it will make you feel better.

As far as what they are worth, similar new radios sell for around $80-90 per pair.

Hope that helps.
