A fingernail file, the cardboard/sandpaper kind is the best method. Don't use any solvents. Once you have the corrosion mostly cleaned away, use a pencil eraser to gently clean the rest.

You will need to match the frequency, code and Qt filter if any. For simplist operations set the code and Qt filters to zero (off), and simply have the frequency match on both units.

Yes, these radios can communicate with one another.

Check your interference eliminator code (aka PL, private line, or code). It is likely set to zero (off) on the T5000s and set to a different number on the T4500s. They must match to work together. Otherwise the one with code turned on will not recognize the other one.

Contant static can be a sign of a bad battery. Try trading the battery pack between the units to see if the problem moves to the other radio. If so, you need to replace your battery pack. Any other problem related to static would not be able to be resolved, as the T4500 is non-repairable.

The T4500 is a stripped down version of the TalkAbout radios, it does not offer an option to turn the Roger Beep on or off. Sorry.

1) Check the programming to be certain they are on the same frequency.
2) Check your batteries, as it takes more energy to transmit than to receive. Swapping the batteries from the good unit to the suspect unit should tell if it is a battery issue.

In looking at the user manual for the T4500, it does not appear to have an interference eliminator code. If the T4508 were to have "code" this also would need to be programmed identically to the other radio.

Youcan pull the cases apart and check the circuit board and capacitors. Makde sure there are no swollen parts, no leaking capacitors, and no burn marks on the circuit board. Chances are one or more may be bad.

Hi
Absolutely no because 
MOTOROLA T4508  frequency range: 409.7500-409.9875MHz
MOTOROLA T4525s frequency range: 462.5625-462.7250MHz

Here are a few troubleshooting ideas:

1) Check your programming to be certain the radios are on the same frequency. Here is a link to the user guide: http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage/manuals/Moto/T4500_User_Manual_E.pdf

2) Check the mic hole of the "good" radio you are using with this one to see if it is covered or has debris in the hole.

3) Check your battery on the "good" radio, as it takes more energy to transmit than to receive. Swap the battery to the other radio and see if the problem moves.

If none of the above help, you may have a defective radio.

Best regards.

It is possibly your interference code eliminator is programmed differently on the two radios. Check your programming, be certain the frequency, code and Qt filter (if any) are identical. For basic operations set your code and Qt filter to zero (off).

Instructions for programming the T4500 begin on page 5.

You will need to program the frequency, code and Qt filter (if any) to match one another. For basic operation choose a frequency number and then set your code and Qt filter (if any) to off (zero).

Best regards.

I'm not seeing where the T4500 has a roger beep. In the event you have a different TalkAbout radio, the Roger Beep is typically turned on or off by holding the PLUS button in while turning on the radio.

Perhaps the privacy code has been changed on one of the radios? If you have a manual follow the instructions for setting the codes and make sure they are the same on both radios.

What you are describing indicated the "code" is not set the same on both radios. Check your frequency, interference code eliminator and Qt filter (if any). All the settings must be identical between the two radios. If you are still having issues, set your code and Qt filter (if any) to zero (off) and then try it. Lastly, check your batteries. Bad or poorly charged batteries can cause transmit issues, as it takes more power to transmit than to receive.
