[Nolug] Ham radio

Chuck,
These radios were work horses not so many years ago. A lot of smaller public service agencies used
them. In addition a lot of businesses used them as well.

They may not be talking to each other for a number of reasons, including the transmitter being
pooched. Perhaps some well meaning person tried to reprogram them before you got them and then hid
them in the bottom of a box...

Also, these are commercial radios you do need a license to talk on most of the frequencies they
cover. They may be useful to one of our local emergency ham groups if you don't find a use for
them.

Cheers,
Charles

I found a couple of Motorola MTS2000 Flashport two way radios
(http://www.motorola.com/cgiss/portables/mts2000.shtml) at the bottom of a
box at work. I can't seem to talk from one to the other. They can page each
other though. I can even pick up some conversations at what seems to be some
hotels in down town New Orleans but I can't communicate back to them. I've
downloaded two manuals for these radios and have read them from cover to
cover and that didn't get me very far.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get to talking over these radios?

Thanks for any input.

Chuck
