I own a Motorola T7400 "talkabout" walkie-talkie, and i need to know how i can change my frequency!?
I live in Sedro-Woolley WA. and i would like to change my frequency to more active frequency's because i have not yet been able to contact others except other walkie talkies i own.
PLZ/THXI own a Motorola T7400 "talkabout" walkie-talkie, and i need to know how i can change my frequency!?
The whole point of those type of Walkie Talkie, is to keep YOUR conversation private.. even if you do share the same frequency. (The channel is the frequency, the Code is the sub-channel)
The idea is, there are lots of code pairings, and many can be used without issue
and you set yours to the identical settings of any extra handset.
If you want a good old fashioned CB "open" walkie talkie or CB set, then you need to get exactly that.. OR
if you want to study and take the tests, a Amateur Radio Licence and call sign, and then a HAM radio set (others wont talk to you on that unless you are also licenced..)I own a Motorola T7400 "talkabout" walkie-talkie, and i need to know how i can change my frequency!?
It doesn't work that way. It is programmed for the FRS/GMRS frequency.
If you need to communicate on other frequencies, you first need to be entitled to them, then have a Motorola dealer program the rado for those frequencies.
Those other frequencies are probably licensed for public service angencies or commercial users, in which case they probably do not want chit-chatters.
If you want meet and talk to anyone on the radio, you have the wrong sort of rado altogether. You should look into an Amateur Radio license, so you can communicate on their bands and equipment, and where you can genuinely meet people and chat over radio.

Can police list in on walkie talkie conversations?
and how likely would it be for them to just happen to over hear a conversation?Can police list in on walkie talkie conversations?
It is extremely unlikely for a police officer to monitor walkie talkie channels (that is if they're GMRS/FRS radios). If you are using CB radios, the likelihood is much greater since that is what many speeding truckers use. For the most part, GMRS channels are widely unused and very light on traffic, thus it would be a waste of time to monitor them. I would estimate that the likelihood of an officer listening in on a conversation is about .000001%, if not less. However, if an individual is being targeted and is known to be using a walkie talkie, they most certainly would use one to see what they can hear. Many drug smugglers use handheld radios since they can't be tracked (as cell phones can), and they are useful in passing information over a radius of 5 mi.Can police list in on walkie talkie conversations?
Anyone with a scanner can hear those conversations.
They are not encoded or encrypted, so expect that nothing you say there will be private.Can police list in on walkie talkie conversations?
A walkie talkie conversation is an unclassified transmission, so it wouldn't be too hard for the police or anyone else for that mattermr tire

Can i turn on my TV with a walkie talkie?
It sounds like a stupid question, but is it possible to say make a mechanism that juts out when given an electronic impulse, perhaps from a walkie talkie or similiar device (to push in my TV on button) and then retract, to be able to repeat when I want to turn it off? Yes I have a TV remote, I just thought it would be an interesting concept, Thanks, MikeCan i turn on my TV with a walkie talkie?

i was looking at getting a pair of doro walkie talkie watches only to find out that they've been discontinued. can anyone tell me another brand pair that will work well?Walkie Talkie Watches - Whats a good pair to buy?
Walkie talkie watches never work well. Anyway, Audiovox also was in the market 3 years ago. Xax and Bellsouth but they should have been discontinued too.

If i bought a walkie talkie from America with channel scan capability would it work in Australia?
No. The Channel Scan function basically just constantly loops through all of the channels on the radio (typically 15-22 for a consumer radio) until it finds one that is receiving a message. Since the channels on Australian radios typically use different frequencies than the channels on radios from the United States the scan function would not pick up Australian transmissions.

Do I need a license to use a walkie talkie?
I have bought a set of NE-358 Walkie-Talkies I don't know much about them but they are 499-480 MHz...I think I need a liscense to use them but am unsure about what type and how to get one.Do I need a license to use a walkie talkie?
Those radios transmit on many different services. Many are law enforcement, amateur, commercial, and other services...use of the radios could get you fined or imprisoned.
Private citizens are not authorized on most of the frequencies. All you could use it for is amateur radio, but you need a license. While FRS/GMRS operate in the range you mentioned, these radio are not type-accepted for use on those services.
i don't think you do need one you just need to make sure your not on the same frequency as the police, or you local taxi service. You may still need one if it was a CB radio.Do I need a license to use a walkie talkie?
just use them because otherwise they wouldnt sell you them like they dont sell you guns without proof of licesnse
If you are sure about the 400 - 480 MHZ frequency range, you probably will need a licence in the US. This frequency range covers the many bands that would require a licence such as the 70cm Ham band.
While it is legal to purchase these, and listen to the transmissions, to talk on them would require a licence for much of the frequency range 400-480 MHZ.Do I need a license to use a walkie talkie?
no well not in Canada but i'm not sure about the United States of America
Hmm well if you are in the UK, thats right in the middle of the tv bands!!
Judging by the frequency range, these sound like Amateur Radio walkie talkies. Yes, you need an FCC license to operate these.
You can go to the NARL website (http://www.narl.net/) and look up the license requirements. As a former "ham" radio license holder, I can tell you that you used to have to pass some pretty stringent exams showing knowledge of electronics to get this license; however, the "Morse code'" portion of this requirement has been (thankfully) dropped.

Whats the difference between a Walkie Talkie and a 2 Way Radio ?
I just want to know because im not sure what I am buying.Whats the difference between a Walkie Talkie and a 2 Way Radio ?
"2way radio" is usually a fix radio or a mobile radio
"walkie-talkie" is usually a hand held portable radio.
Walkie talkie was coined during WW2, but continues today.
"Walkie-Talkie" can also be called a "hand held", Motorola calls it a "Handie-Talkie (HT)" GE/Ericson calls it a "Personal Communicator (PC)".
They are ALL 2 way radios because they transmit AND receive.Whats the difference between a Walkie Talkie and a 2 Way Radio ?
I do not know if you like to read about stuff, but try this website, it is LOADED with information that can help you distinguish a walkie talkie (WWII era) and two way radio (police)..

I found a method on instructables.com or something, but its too complex. Can any1 tell me how to or just explain their method to me?How to make a walkie talkie?
Your gonna have to stick with the www.instructables.com
There are PDF from torrent files explaing how to do this but you'd have to search them and use a torrent downloader
If things get to complicted from there try
Step
1
Tin canWash and dry two clean cheap tin cans. These are going to be the walkie talkies or telephones. Make a small hole in the center of each can making sure it has no sharp edges. It has to be large enough for the insertion of the string or cord, into each of the cans.
Step
2
tin cans with string on each canPush the string into each hole of the tin cans from the outside. Keep the string from slipping out by making a few knots in the ends. This will keep the string from slipping out of the cans when each person pulls their ''telephone'' or cellphone taut while you call someone and talk into it.
Step
3
longer strings allow for a longer distanceTalk into the can to the person in another room or in another area. The longer the cord, you can be a long distance from someone you want to talk to. Pull the string tight as you talk into the can. You will be able to hear and speak to each other. This 'Walkie Talkie', was also called a telephone and used by children communicating with each other and having fun speaking to their friends.

It sounds like you have a radio with a mixture of FRS and GMRS frequencies. The site below should help. I would guess the FRS frequencies are in the first 14 channels but don't know for sure. The GMRS frequencies are probably the ones listed as simplex.
The 'sub c' stands for a tone coded squelch frequency. The second site below lists the tones. To communicate, the radios need to have no 'sub c' or they all have to have the same 'sub c'. The 'sub c' prevents you from hearing other conversations that are using a different code.

Are there any apps to turn a smartphone into a walkie-talkie or shortwave radio emmiter?
I realize that this question might be rather stupid, since I understand nothing about the inner workings of phones and radios. Still, I was wondering if an app existed that could turn a smartphone into an emergency radio, for instance if you are lost outside of network range or if the network itself fails due to some disaster. I have an Android phone, kind you, but the question was more theoretical in nature. I am simply curious.Are there any apps to turn a smartphone into a walkie-talkie or shortwave radio emmiter?
no, there is not, cellphones are made to transmit on a fixed frequency for the service (usually 800/1900 GSM) if you want to be able to transmit you'd have to modify the inside of the phone plus reprogram it to work like a radio. It would take you a lot of time and maybe money.
If you want a radio thought you get CB radios, which don't cost much or frs/gmrs walkie talkies (less effective though)
If you want to use shortwave other than CB or GMRS getting a HAM radio license is something good to look into and not to hard either. With a Ham radio you can talk all over most the US easy.mbusa
