SOURCE: won't transmit
First I would check the interference code on both radios to see if it is set the same. It is possible you have one set to zero and the other set to another number. This would cause the problem you describe. The interference eliminator is designed to block out transmissions from radios whose settings do not match it.
If all your settings are identical, and you have only 2 radios, it is not possible to tell which one has the problem. You either have one with no transmit or one with no receive. The only way to tell which you have is to get a 3rd radio involved, set to the same settings.
SOURCE: Can Receive but not Transmit
1) Double check your interference code eliminator and the Qt filter. Make certain they are all set identical.
2) If you are still having trouble, shut off the Qt filter.
3) Then if you still have trouble shut off the code. (Off is sometimes "zero" or "n" for no.)
4) If the above steps do not help you have either a defective radio, or a bad battery. Switch the batteries out of the working units to the non-working and see if the problem switches to the other units. If so, replace the battery packs. (Note: it takes more battery power to transmit, so the problem would first show up in the transmit area.)
Best regards.
Testimonial: "Response from this site is almost immediate! Will try it out & respond asap ... although I must say I dont understand those techie terms:{ TQ anyway!"
SOURCE: can transmit to other frs radios but cannot
Check the "code" (interference eliminator code) on the FR60 and set it to off or zero. It appears from your description the Cobras do not have "code" turned on. Refer to your user guide to find the instructions for turning off the code. (As of this date we have not found an FR60 manual posted online.)
Best regards.

SOURCE: My motorola RDU2020 radio receives
1) You possibly have a bad or nearly dead battery. Transmit takes more energy than receiving. With this in mind, your radio's transmit will fail, if you have a poorly charged or bad battery, when pressing the PTT. Try a battery from a known good radio to see if it eliminates the problem. If so, replace your battery.
2) The radio is either programmed incorrectly or in need of repair. If you have been experimenting with the programmable features, we suggest you walk back through the steps of programming. Here is a link to the user guide: http://www.mytoolstore.com/motorola/rdx_userguide.pdf Programming instructions begin on page 36.
3) If in need of repair. Radios less than one year old should be under warranty, barring any physical or water damage to the unit. Contact the place of purchase or Motorola for warranty instructions.
If the radio is more than one year old you can get it repaired at any dealer offering Motorola repair. (approx. $85 flat rate)
Best regards.
