20 Most Recent Motorola XTN 2-Way Radio Questions & Answers

Here's a link to the user guide. If your radios are both UHF or both VHF they should be programmable to match one another. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwi41fis6eLJAhUF5CYKHTgFAFQQFggdMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buytwowayradios.com%2FProducts%2FMotorola%2Fmanuals%2FXTN-series-manual.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFIOd86CBLE45ZNgdfTwEtH6ZhRsA&cad=rja

Here is a link to the user guide for the XTN style radio. http://www.123radios.com/manuals/xtnmanual.pdfProgramming instructions begin on page 18. You will need to set the frequency and interference eliminator code (PL code) the same on all the radios. When you enter programming mode, you can use the menu button to walk you through the various options you can program.Best regards.

2 miles line-of-sight. Any obstacles you put between the radios will reduce range. Talking from inside a building to outside you would expect a range of 1/4 to 1/2 mi.Best regards.

1) Check your frequency and code. It is possible someone has changed the frequency to an adjacent frequency and they are communicating only due to being in a close proximity. Here is a link to the user guide: http://www.123radios.com/manuals/xtnmanual.pdf

2) Check your battery. A old or defective battery can exibit this type of problem. Trade the battery with a known good radio and see if the problem still exists, or moves to the other radio.

3) Check your antennas for damage or missing end caps. A bad antenna can cause this type of issue, even if simply by getting corrosion on the coils from a missing cap.

4) If all the above check out fine, your radio is in need of repair. Flat rate repair on this style unit is currently around $69.

Best regards.

The on/off/volume potentiometer is a common failure part on most radios, including the XTN. The only solution is to have the radio repaired. Typically this style unit can be repaired for $69 flat rate.

Sidenote: On the XTN it is best, when turning on the radio, to turn the knob to at least 50% volume before turning it back to your desired setting. This helps with the initialization of the radio. Also, it is best not to run this style of radio at full volume, as it can cause other receive issues down the line.

Best regards.

Sorry, but the answer is NO. The two radios do not share any frequencies. Here are links to the user guides where you can see a list of the frequencies:

One or both of your radios have PL ( aka private line, tone code, interference eliminators) activated. Here is a link to a link which contains the XTN446 manual(s). Click on the "support" tab to see the list: http://www.motorola.com/Business/XU-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Unlicensed+Two+Way+Business+Radios/XTR446_XU-EN

First I would try setting the radio's CODE to off (usually zero) and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, you'll either need to experiment, or find a user guide for the Kenwood. (You could try posting in the Kenwood forum.)

Best regards.

Sorry, the frequency 467.525 is not available in the XTN style radio. (You have posted under the heading for the XTN radio, so we are assuming you have this style radio.)
Here is a link to the manual: http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/XTN_Series_User_Manual_E.pdf
The list of available frequencies is on page 26.

Best regards.

Your local motorola service center will be able to get it. the radio will have to be re-aligned after the replacement.

There are several ways:
1) Customer Programming Software (CPS)*
Allows users to perform various programming
functions. Plus, the CPS software provides access
to new features such as Radio Reporting to
manage cloning and radio profiles, Manager Lock,
Power Select, and Time-Out Timers.
* CPS is available as an optional accessory, including required USB cable.
2) Easy Cloning
Quickly copy settings from radio to radio with
either the Radio-to-Radio Cloning Cable or the
Multi-Unit Charger accessories. (Both sold
separately.)

You should be able to purchase any of this software/equipment from your retailer where you purchased the radio.

Best regards.

Here is a link to the CP100 user manual, it is the sister radio to the XTN, and programs the same way. http://www.thekidshuttle.com/ABC%20Docs/CP100_Manual.pdf
Refer to the bottom of page 20 to get started programming.

Basically you hold in the PTT and the MON button while turning the radio on. Continue to hold them in until it stops making noise. This puts you in programming mode, and you can use the menu button and the + and - to walk you through reprogramming the radio.

If your frequency and code are set the same, you have either a battery problem or a radio problem. For a quick battery test, swap the battery pack from the good radio into the one with the problem and see if the problem moves. Then you will know if it is simply the battery. If both settings are identical and the battery swap does not solve the problem, you have a defective radio.

Remove the battery, slip a small screw driver into the slot at the bottom of the radio between the outer housing and the battery tray, gently pry up. If your radio has a pair of battery contacts on the exterior they will come up with the tray. Be gentle, and do not disturb the Mylar ribbon that runs down the back of the tray. Once the tray is removed, using a frame removal tool (shaped like a squared letter U) you slip the tool in the channels on either side of the radio where you removed the battery tray. Then slide the tool upward until it meets the two plastic ears. The tool will slip under the ears and using your tool you can push the component board out the top of the housing. If your radio has an 8-dip-switch private line board, you may want to watch you do not damage or dislodge it in the process.

It is possible to have the battery in your Motorola H730 headset replaced, but it would likely need to be done by a third-party repair service as the battery is not typically user-replaceable. Motorola does not offer an official repair service for the H730 headset, so you may need to find a third-party repair service that specializes in repairing Bluetooth headsets. Be aware that third-party repairs may void any remaining warranty on the device. You can also consider purchasing a new headset if you prefer not to have it repaired.

I believe for the FR60 walkie-talkies, if they are not sending or receiving, the issue could be related to the antenna, battery, or internal components. You can try replacing the batteries and/or antennas to see if that resolves the issue. As for the T5820 walkie-talkie, if the rubber on the antenna is broken, it's likely that the antenna itself is also damaged. In this case, you can try replacing the antenna with a new one. Antennas are typically available for purchase online or at electronics stores. In terms of cost, repairing older walkie-talkies like these may not always be cost-effective. If the repairs are extensive or require replacement of major components, it may be more practical to purchase new walkie-talkies instead. Below are options of the options of walkie-talkies you can buy;
