I can not get my radios to communicate

Check your Qt filter. Set it to the off position (the minus symbol) on both radios. Once you have your Frequency, Interference Code Eliminator and Qt Filter set identical, the radios should communicate. If not, you have a radio with a problem. Or a bad battery. (Bad batteries can also cause some user problems, such as no transmit or intermittent transmit.)

Here is a link to the user's guide, the Qt filter is on page 21: http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage/manuals/Moto/T55xx.pdf

Another test of the radios would be to put both Codes to zero and see if you can communicate without the code turned on.
