new 2-way radio doesnt work with old radios?
I've got a new pair of Motorola T5500 that work fine with EACH OTHER, but they don't work well with my friends older 2-way radios (variousmakes & models)and I cant figure out why. When I say they dont work well what actually is happening is that I can hear all of their conversations on my radio as clear as day, but when I try talking to them all they hear is static and mumble. This happens from as close as 20 feet to as far away as one mile so it's not a distance/proximity problem. We've been using channel 12/0 and 12/2, I don't know anything about the differences in channels so is there a better channel to use? Is it possible that my new radios frequencies are just a bit different that the old radios frequencies? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
