Motorola T5500AA GMRS / FRS 8-Mile Two-Way Radio

Purchased them for a cruise and upon receipt I did everything according to the setup and no reception. I wanted to return them but I have no idea how to for a refund. Please let me know how I can return them. Sincerely I wish they had worked

Only using them for a short distance, room to room inside, but they work fine. clear and easy to use. Like the 'code' feature so you know you are only talking to the intended recipient.

years ago I bought a motorola frs radio (fr 60?) and it worked great! I've purchased some recent radio and the sound quality (transmit and receive) is horrible. It's very hard for people to understand what's being said and much more difficult to communicate. People say the transmitter audio is too quiet and I have to speak up. And whether quiet or loud, it sounds garbled.

I'm looking for a better one, probably not motorola. Too bad, I loved the older ones.

Great product all around, except for one significant WARNING!

The T5500 and the T5200 both have an automatic cut off after 60 seconds of continuous transmission... For our uses, we can't do VOX due to the delay... We need the transmission "hot" from one radio, all the time.

I'm very frustrated at not learning this until I read the manual... This info is NOWHERE on the product descriptions, or on the Motorola web site... Their sales staff didn't even know when I called them directly, and it wasn't in their database.

Again, good product... But, this is a major oversight.

I assume this is fine -- it worked when I tested it before wrapping them for Christmas presents. And I was happy to find this item since they are not readily available in my local stores.
