Does not receive FM signals anymore, just noise.

I receive the weather channel clearly. But the FM signal is just noise.
I have the 2 walkie talkies for about 6 years. The first one went out about 3 years ago. And the second one went out about 2 months ago.
Just clicked off! The model is the Motorola T6310 and many features such an alarm, clock, presets, stopwatch and more. All work well. It's
been discontinued however and going through customer service, emails,
800 #'s - I just get bounced about by non-technical people. What's new!
Please help! I even tried Radio Shack.

    How can these radios be disposable! At the time they were available they priced at around $80! This is not a programming or a battery problem. I don't use the radios to transmit voice, just for the FM radio that's it. Read, I just get noise from the station. However I do get the weather channel when I tune to it.

I have the model Motorola T6310 and currently no FM stations play. Everything else works fine but it was convenient to have FM reception. FM radio used to work fine 14 or 15 years ago when it was new. This leads me to believe it's a manufacturing defect or done intentionally to stop working after a few years.

The T6310 is a disposable radio. Assuming the programming is correct, and matching on each of your radios, and you are using good batteries, there is nothing which can be done to correct the problem. We would however, suggest you double check your programming, and also the age of your batteries.

Sidenote: Rechargeable batteries only last 18-24 months before they begin to fail. Signs of failure can include, but are not limited to, poor transmit, intermittent transmit, white noise, squelching sounds. It takes more energy to transmit than to receive, so your transmit would be the first to go.

    My apologies for misunderstanding your question. Since the radio is an FM walkie-talkie also, we had wrongly assumed you speaking of the 2-way-radio function. In regards to the FM-stereo radio function: Have you tried reprogramming the radio to find the FM stations in your area? It may have lost what you had saved to the radio.



    Here is a link to the owners manual. The pages around 22-23 look like they would be helpful to you. It explains how to tune the radio back onto an FM station.



    We were a little hurt by you rating us as "inappropriate", when a simple "thanks for trying" would have been in order. We truely were trying to help you, we just misunderstood your question. Please accept our apologies.

Audiovox 2-way 14 channel what is the frequency for these radios

It won't matter which frequency you run these on as long as they match and you have a clear signal.

I get white noise on my walkie talkie...only when I use the walkie talkie does it stop...what do I need to do to stop this and have it function properly

Sounds like the 'squelch' is not high enough. Check the manual how to raise the squelch level. Then the receiver will be silenced until you receive a strong enough signal.

One walkie talkie has static on every channel

It sounds like your monitor button is stuck and you are hearing the white noise. Try pressing the monitor button on your other radio and see if the noise is the same. If so, your button is stuck. If not...
Sometimes a lot of static can be an indication of a bad or poorly charged battery. To check for this trade batteries with your known good radio and see if it solves the problem.

One walkie talkie does not seem to be receiving despite being pn the same settings

Even the privacy codes are the same? Does the little light come on to tell you that it's receiving a signal?

I have the cobra micro talk with rechargeable batteries my workers plug them up every night and get them in the morning but some arestill saying low battery, does the walkie talkie need to be turned off...

they charge better if they are turned off. since they do not have a paid dedicated channel, signals can

still be received by any walkie talkie using the same channel, and can deplete the charging process

to the radio. good luck!

What channel should i set my motorolla walkie talkie to get the best distance? It seem not to wok beyond 1/4 mile on channel 3.

You didn't mention a model number, so I don't know if your radio is an FRS or FRS/GMRS model. GMRS channels have more power output than FRS does, but GMRS also requires a license for operation. Other than that, the frequencies are so close together that there is no distance advantage gained by changing channels. The manufacturer's distance claims on these radios are pure advertising gimmicks - the radios are line-of-sight only, so if there's anything between the transmitter and receiver, the signal will not get through.

I can't get my walkie talkie to go it's full 20 miles its only reaches maybe 3 miles or so it dont make any scence to me. also how can i comunicate with cb's in semi's

The distance claims made by FRS/GMRS radio manufacturers are fairy tales. The frequencies that these radios operate on are line-of-sight only, meaning that ANYTHING between the radios (buildings, hills, trees, etc.) will block the signals. Unless you're transmitting from one hilltop to another, with nothing between the two, 2 to 3 miles is the maximum effective distance for any of these radios.

On your other question, FRS/GMRS radios and CB radios operate on different frequencies bands, so you cannot communicate between the two types of radios. In order to communicate with CB radio operators, you will need a CB radio.

HOW DO YOU GET THE WEATHER CHANNEL ON WALKIE TALKIE?

Your radio must have VHF capability, as weather channels are VHF. Then your radio must be programmable to the weather channel for your desired area. If you repost a question including your Motorola radio name/model, we could be more specific.
