We have two talkabout t5720, both set on same channel. One seems to send, while the other does not. we haven't used them before-is there a simple solution? Thanks

Here is a link to the user guide http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T56XX_57XX_User_Manual_E.pdf Programming instructions begin on page 21

Best regards.

Unfortunately the T5728 is not compatible with the US FRS (family radio service) frequencies. The T5728 operates between 409-410MHz. The FRS radios operate between 460-470 MHz. FRS frequencies are license-free frequencies for use in the US, as regulated by the FCC. Other countries have differing rules and thus their frequencies assigned to family usage differ. Best regards, and sorry we could not help.

Program the frequency, code and Qt filter (if any) to match one another. For simple operation set the code and Qt filter to off (zero).

Best regards.

The T5720 has
- 7 GMRS/FRS 1 watt Channels
- 7 FRS 1/2 watt Channels
- 8 GMRS 1 watt Channels
All of these frequencies are between 462-467 MHz. There is a list of the specific frequencies assigned to each channel on page 19 of the user guide. Here is a link http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T56XX_57XX_User_Manual_E.pdf

So sorry, parts have never been available for the TalkAbout line of radios (other than TalkAbout Distance & DPS). If you are looking to repair an existing T5720 unit, your best option would be to locate a like-model for parts. eBay can be a good source.

As for replacement batteries and accessories you can use the Motorola TalkAbout Accessory Store.

Best regards.

Set your interference eliminator code on the T5720 and the Qt filter both to zero. You have one or both turned on. By setting them to zero you will turn them off. Then your radios should work together.

Set both the frequency and the interference eliminator code to match one another. (The big number and the small number) Here is a link to the owners manual: http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/T56XX_57XX_User%20_Manual_E.pdf

Basic instructions:
Press the Menu Button
The freq number will flash
Use the + or - button to select the frequency.
Press the PTT button to save the channel setting.

To set the code:
Press the menu button until the code starts to flash (the small number)
Press the + or - to select the code.
Press the PTT to save the code setting.

Once you have both radios matching on frequency and code, they should communicate together.

We are a M dealer and the schematics for the TalkAbout line were never released to the dealer channel.

Hello Ruaal,

The frequencies in the TalkAbout T5720 are not adjustable. The radio operates on the designated Family Radio Service channels located at 462 and 467 MHz. There is no way to change these channels to be at 463 and 464 MHz.

Best regards,
Ken

Those radios were not designed to transmit data, and has no any port for it.
