Have you checked that both radios are in the same Channel and the same Squelch Code? are the batteries ok? any rust in the battery contacts? Some FRS radios gets a Malfuntion, and the syntom is like that, check this first

have you tried pressing the Menu key for 5 or 10 seconds?, in mostly or the FRS radios works this way. Good Luck Neto

The key shown on the display is a "Button Lock". Press and hold the LAMP+ button until the key goes away. Manuals for the 1010 are still available from WOOIL telcom

sorry we do not sell parts here.

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!

Please try to have the 2 receivers at least 20-30 ft apart. You may be overloading them if you are too close.

Very likely a blown speaker. Those speakers do not stand up to weather well and may have gotten wet. The only solution is replacement. Since you cannot buy a speaker, you would need to buy another radio and use it for parts. Better yet, buy a working radio and use you old one for parts.

Nothing. You have already said channel, which is frequency and sub channel, which is called a lot of things. You are 99% ahead! My best guess: turn them Off and On. Then check the channel and subchannel again. One of the radios did not save the information or lock it into the memory. The On/Off cycle may save it and they will work! Let's cross our fingers. But do not hesitate to reprogram them as many as 3-5 times and look for a SAVE feature in the manual. Best of luck!
