See if the one radio that doesn't hear the other has a PL tone programmed into it. If both radios are not programmed to the same PL tone, then one will not hear the other. Consult your owner's manual on how to do this.

Do you leav the cobra micro talk walkie talkies on when charging

Also, never transmit with them in the charging cradle. I know, lots do but you risk ruining the radio beyond repair.

We have three Uniden walkie talkies - two of them have a symbol of a walkie talkie above the channel - these two will not talk to each other - but they talk to the one without the symbol - how do I ge

Sounds like the PL tone is set on the two, with different tones. Go to the menu, find the tone screen, and turn off the tone (or set them all to the same tone). That should fix the problem!

I have a Motorola Talkabout from 1998 that has a talk button, a monitor button, and a power button. Whenever I press the talk button it just says the channel....but when I talk through my other walkie...

It seems a small hardware-problem, like a button is sticking, making a continues connection. If you are comfortable in hardware-modifications, try to open the casing of the malfunctioning walkie talkie. Do this carefully, not to damage it further.
When opened, check the 3 buttons to see any damage, or undesired connections (caused by extensive use or plain dirt).

Is kenwood walkie talkie and motorola walkie talkie on the same frequence

If you are talking about FRS radios, the answer would be yes. If you are talking about business radios, it depends on how they were programmed. Business radios have many frequencies available.

T5900 Walkie Talkie Issue

Hello Bo Duke,

If one radio won't walk to the other my guess if that you have the Privacy Code function set up incorrectly.

The privacy code function mutes the radio unless it receives a signal from another radio transmitting the same privacy code. If Privacy Codes are turned on for Radio A but not turned on for Radio B then you will be able to transmit from Radio A to Radio B but not from Radio B to Radio A. If Privacy Codes are turned on for both radios but each unit is set to a different code then neither radio will be able to talk to the other.

Make sure that the radios are both set to the same privacy code or that the privacy code function is turned off on both radios. You can find more information on how this function is set in the radio's Owner's Manual.

Hope this helps!

Walky talky

A walkie talky as we called them, back when we were younger - and hell we probably still do in some respects, hence the fact my friend still refers to her cordless phone as a "walkie talky" and the principals haven't changed that much.

The common old Walkie Talky or CB radio use what we call a half duplex, that means only one person can talk at a time. We are talking and listening on the same channel.

Cell phones are full duplex, meaning two way conversation, and this is simply listening on one channel whilst talking on another, so the basic principal is basically the same, just a little more sophisticated.

Walkie-talkie typically has one channel
CB radio has 40 channels.
Cell phone
can communicate on 1,664 channels or more!

I have included a link to a circuit diagram.
