Question about Motorola TalkAbout T5000 2-Way Radio

1 Answer

T5000 have a lot of static!

My T5000 radios have a lot of static in them when talking to the other radio. They seem to work fine but you can't understand what the other person is saying because of all the static. The batteries are fully charged and these radios seemed to work fine last year during hunting season but for some reason are not this year. The other day we were using 1 of my T5000 and my buddies Midlands, once in a while the T5000 would work with a clear signal then the next time it wouldn't get anything. Is there anything I can do. I really like these radios, they are only a couple years old and I really don't want to have to buy new ones already! Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that when your standing close (10ft.) they operate flawlessly. If the speakers had debri on them they wouldn't work at all would they?

    Thanks again!

    We currently have about 20 Motorola radios in our school. They now have static, I have replaced some batteries. I do notice that some radios have STM 1 and some have Channel 001?

I think if you can´t undestand what the other person is sayin, and you think is working fine, the problem could be at the speaker, check if the speaker is clear of dirty or sand or any thing that has not to be there. If you find any dirty or sand on you speaker, try to clean with a brush and giving some little knocks with a piece of steel Good luck

Can not get static out of radio i have a cobra 29 with weather channel the squ knob seem 2 b not working sometimes can u help me
Turn the squelch down, and the RF gain all the way up.

You need to realize that some times, there is not a lot of noise out there. Right now lately there has been due to skip. But it does die down. When you hear a lot of noise for a while, then it goes away, it messes with your head. You don't hear anything, but that's because its quite out. I would test it by talking to some one on the radio. If you can hear them just fine even though you don't hear a lot of static, then its just quiet out.

I have 2 Motorola T5000s and 1 T4500 that came together in a set years ago. The two T5000s seem to connect to each other fine, and the T4500 receives messages and signals from the T5000, but does not seem...

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.

Best regards.

Looking for operational manual for talk about T500
We are unable to locate the specific manual for the T5000, however, here are links to the T4800 and T5100. One or both of these should be very similar to the T5000.

Rx not working
You need to check the programming of your Frequency, interference Code eliminator and Qt filter, if any. All must match one another for the radios to communicate. You have posted under the T5000 heading, here is a link to the nearest numbered user guide. http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T5XxX_User_Manual_E.pdf

Car radio doesn't work
It sounds like the antenna wire may have come loose from the radio or the antenna - would be worth checking. Just remember, if you can't get in behind the radio, and you have to pull it, don't disconnect the wiring harness, or you'll need an unlock code to make the radio work again.

Cant reset my motorola talkabout t5000
Constant static can be a sign of a bad or low battery. If the battery is known to be good, try the radios outside the factory setting to see if the problem persists. If you have no problem when you are away from the machinery, you may need to set your interference eliminator code to a number other than zero. This will turn your eliminator ON, which will block out the radio frequency interference caused by the machines.

If the problem persists outside of the factory, then you should try replacing the batteries. OR possibly just cleaning the battery contacts with a pencil eraser.

The method you are using for resetting the radio will take the radio back to the factory default settings. It will not solve the problems listed above. It will only reset the frequency and code back to the original settings.

No radio reception in office.
most portables have a very weak FM receiver, and a building interior tends to block a good deal of signals. your best bet is an old fashioned unit with a large retractable antenna.

Low Voice
Mostly of this radios works in 12.5Khz channel spacing so the modulation will be 2.5khz, if the other radios are not for the same application, they could be a 5.0 Khz modulation,this could be the reason that you are heared quite. Other reason is that you Microfone is clogged, or dirty, chech this. Neto
