audio quality poor.......2007-06-20

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.

"Push to Talk Timeout " after 60 seconds.......2007-05-17

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.

A Christmas Gift.......2007-01-11

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.

no batteries - too bad!.......2006-11-10

Yes! I don't read about NO BATTERIES INCLUDED!

Too bad

Great Tools.......2006-08-19

We used these radios on a Corvette road tour to the national convention in San Antonio. Had no problems, great response. Batteries appear to last more than a few days.
