Your frequency and your code are two separate settings. When you walk your way through the menu the frequency choice will come before the code choices. Frequencies will count from 1-14 or 1-22. Codes (aka interference eliminator) will have may more choices and one of them will be Zero. It appears from looking at the T4500 manual that it does not offer "code". So on this one the code is already "zero" (off). On your T5000 you should be able to navigate to the CODE using the menu button, then use your plus or minus button to get you to "zero", then press the PTT button to save your choice.
Best regards.
Our first thought when reading your dilemma is to check the Menu Lock. Holding the Menu button in for 3 seconds will lock/unlock your buttons. You should have an icon depicting a lock displayed on the screen.
Testimonial: "I sure appreciate the thorough response. I have been able to get the frequency eliminator code to change on the 2 t5000, but I can't get them to maintain the reception. The t4500 will be able to transmit a sound to the other two radios when I first try, but it goes off after one second. I have firmly pressed the ptt button to "save" the settings. I've tried resetting them by going up to 1 and back down to 0, but it still only "hears" the t4500 for 1 second. Very frustrating. Any ideas?"

If you have already checked both radios have the same code and channel both radios must reicive and transmit between each other check if you have any QT in any display this is a third condition to reicive.
SOURCE: We have 4 T8500 - only one can talk, the other 3 only recieve.
Can you tell if the radio is actually transmitting? Is there any sound on the transmitting radio or a light inditcating that it is indeed transmitting? If not maybe the PTT button is malfunctioning. Try to use a microphone plugged into the accessory jack and see if it works. Another option is if you have a radio scanner, search the frequency range while transmitting and see if you pick up that open carrier.

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.

Holding in the MENU a long press will turn the LOCK on or off. You will need the menu unlocked for the following...
However, if you press the MENU button repeatedly, not holding it in a long press, you will walk through all the menu items, and there you will see when the CODE number begin to flash. You will also see setting for other features as you walk though the menu. Refer to your manual for these settings.

Okay, I pressed the menu button multiple times and didn't have to hold it like it said. Unfortunately, the interference code stops working after 1 press. Any ideas why it won't maintain itself and continue working?
