Poor transmission
Its hard to tell exactly whats wrong without some more detail. I am assuming that these are 15 channel FRS walkie talkies?
If they are than what you have is 2 FM 2 way radios that operate in the 450 mhz region. FM is usually really clear at both close and far distances. With AM radios its possible for the transimission to be distorted at close distances.
First you want to check if this is a transmit problem (tx) or a recieve problem (rx). The easiest way to do this is to listen to other peoples transmissions and see if you can undertand them and if they are clear. Push the monitor button or whatever function there is on that particular radio to turn the squelch off. What you want is to hear static so you will be able to hear other people talking on other handhelds that are using different tones than you or might be too far to break squelch. You want to hear everything.
Check how other people transmissions sound..... if they are hard to understand like a transmission from you other handheld does. If the other radios you pic up sound clearer....try using yours again.... but give it some distance...
The speakers in these thing are not the best to begin with. Try that out and let me know your results... try to desribe what your hearing in detail.... like "garbled" "distorted" "low audio" stuff like that so I get an idea of what your hearing.
Try it out
Is the two way radio easily fixed, suspect mic, or is it garbage?
If you can do minor soldering, you may be able to fix the radio. They have no parts available, so they are considered "junk" when they break. But if you do the following, you may be able to repair it: open radio, unscrew the housing and pull it apart. Take the circuit board and look for corrosion, it often looks greenish or white. If the radio has a lot, there is water damage. You may still be able to fix it. You've gone this far! Use a Q Tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and remove as much corrosion as you can. Let it dry. Take your soldering gun and lightly resolder each spot on the circuit board. Touch the tip, as soon as the solder turns liquid, remove it! I have fixedhundreds of radios and cell phones by doing this. But it may not work. It just takes your labor! Good luck!
