I have had these wallow talkies for over a month now and not sure if these are compatible with with using a secure earpiece in the 2.5 mm audio jack. If you have any knowledge about that it would be very helpful
i am sure they would work I was just at wal mart today looking in eletronics and they have earpieces with built in mic for them i dont see why others wouldnt work
Haley Than you for your comment and i am glad to help you out here. Mon scan is simply this. Monitor. This is usually a button which will temporarily put your radio in monitor mode. This turns off any private line (PL code) you may have filtering your frequency. This allows you to hear all users on your frequency, which are in range of your radio. Best regards
@@GUYMAN261 good to hear you got them working and aother tip you can recharge regular household aa battries you can get at the dollar store or hardware store wal mart and have a spare set that can be rechared in the raido
not too bad. ive used them both in town in the woods and out in open flatlands in town i am doing about a mile to half mile town here is not like a city its a small midwest town woods about a half mile open flat lands 2 2 and a half miles
Check all radios make sure there is no privacy code (sub frequency) set or set them all the same. I have no issues with these and talking to ppl with cobra motorola or any other maker of radios
Wow thank you so much for your honest review this proves very well that the only difference between budget and expensive radios is only the features but when it comes down to communication they work identical
Learn To Survive ive tried searches for an ear piece made by the dame company made for this model and I couldn’t find anything. I did again just now, all I can find are eat pieces made for other walkie talkies.
This is tricky can be up to 23 miles or so if your on a mt top and the other is miles away at the bottom. these are line of sight radios so no obstructions a mile in town block or 2
I would think in a SHTF situation they would work better because of less interference.. however it would be easier to track as well to whoever was listening.. but any radio would have that problem really...
There are some raidos that are Amateur radio frequencies only that have encryption on them even though the fcc says this is a no no they are not enforcing it unless someone is causing major trouble with them . the issue with this is everyone in your group would have to have the same radio and all though this in the real world would be great and a benifit it requires everyone to spend several hunndred dollars on a raido get a Amateur radio licens from the fcc ect and yes people who dont have a raido with the encryption key programed into it would hear jumble anyone with a dual vhf uhf multi frequency raido like a 30 buck baofeng uv r5 and 3 dollars worth of copper wireing and 6 foot of pvc pipe can build a directional antenna and track your signal and pinpoint your location search youtube for amateur raido fox hunt and you can see what i am talking about and how simple it is to do. sadly we do not live in a perfect world and anything that can provied aid and help us can also be used agenst us
Yes these are standard uhf raidos no different then any of the other bubble pack raidos sold at big box and sporting good stores that are programed for the gmrs and frs frequencies
Do these run on a privacy code? I was checkn the radios and notice my uv 5r wasn't transmitting and was using one of these onn walkie talkies to receive so just wondering if it was a ctcss problem or my radio just not transmitting
yes they have ctcss codes mine out of the package were all set at ctcss 1 and could hear my boafeng on it but couldnt transmit to it till i turned off the ctcss
@@LearnToSurvive574 now how do I shut off the ctcss on the ONN walkies cause my owners manuals are mia I looked online and that manual said nothing about a ctcss...actually nevermind the ONN T-ctcss is 67.0hz just got to playing with the beofeng and bam got it to transmit.......thanks for the direction 👍🇺🇸🍻
Thanks for your informational video! I finally bought a pair of these Yesterday. I charged them up overnight and used them today to familiarize ourselves with the the modes etc. my wife worked in childcare so has used the commercial variant walkie-talkie and I have used the commercial walkie-talkie from working in the turf grass environment in the past. Plus, I’m used to using a CB growing up. Next thing I’m gonna do is buy the ham radio test book addition to online practice testing and start studying up and then take my test.
little hint on the test yes study but for tec ticket dont focus too much on eletronics and math part of it they will throw a few on there and if you miss them your still getting a passng grade focus more on laws
Learn To Survive Thankyou, for the tip!!!! I never heard that before but, I will follow the advice! Much appreciated! Any tip on recommendations of first ham radio for me and my wife?
I’m having a problem with these walkie talkies. I can talk from walkie talkie 1 and you can hear it from the 2nd one. I talk from Walkie-talkie 2 and you can’t hear from walkie talkie 1. They both are on the same channels and everything. Any idea why this is happening?
My guess would be one is set with no TCSS tone and one is set with a CTCSS. CTCSS sometimes refered to as subchannels or privacy mode. i would refer to your user manual and make sure one aint set to have a tone. this happens alot with out people relizing they have actavated privacy mode
@@geovannialvarado2327 step 1 turn on step 2 press menu button once to go to the channel you want step 3 hit menu again and it will make the bottom number under the channel number flash and set them both at 0 and that shoud fix your issue
These are only FRS radios, not GMRS/FRS combo units. You can expect 750mW with the supplied rechargable batteries(3.6volts) on channels 1-7 and 15-22. Can expect 360mW on channels 8-14. With alkaline batteries(4.5volts) you could expect 1watt on channels 1-7 and 15-22. Can expect 500mW on channels 8-14. The name of the company that actually manufactures these is Auctus Technologies Co., Ltd. FCC GRANT: fccid.io/2ASCZ2019WT002
they are the gmrs and frs channels and as i said in the video the fcc expanded the frs chanels and some of them are the same as the gmrs channnels I can tell you this much if you have a raido with 49 channels most likely a business raido as there are well over 50 channels and actually require a business licens through the fcc . your best bet for your group is do a google search for free ham raido study guids and all of you get your licens for that and a few of the water restent baofeng raidos and just run 2 meater or 70 cm frequencies
on these i am not sure you can as i have not found anything in the settings to turn the roger beep off and have not found anything on line on doing so really that is the only flaw i have found in these raidos and can live with it for the price
To turn the Roger beep off .First make sure the radio is off then press the power on and volume up buttons at the same time. When the radio turns on just release both buttons. To turn off keypad tones do the same but use the volume down button. Took me forever to figure it out.
No prob. I also just tested the range. In town I got 1.5 miles. And about 2.5 miles in the country. Only bad thing is the batteries only last about 45 min when talking alot.
I learned about your channel on a livestream this morning and it was new to me I can't remember everybody's names. They were promoting your channel so I came to watch a video.
It was good to see you again ! For sure the passed year has been so messed up all the restrictions and all. So as you know I never use a computer much and never used youtube and you have me watching videos like a mad man now and you were not joking about some of these people making videos. All I can say is I hope they have luck with their ideas. Now I want to say something about yours. You are not you in your videos they dont suck like you say. You have come in at my invite and tought many classes with me and filled in on ones I had because I was sick or had something come up that needed my Monitor? That way you can write it all out and use it as a guide to keep your thoughts gathered and in order on point ect? And hey before I forget next video be your self look at it as your teaching a class and see if that helps you. Take care and get as much time in the dirt this summer as you can.

I can't get my onn walkies to turn on. You just hold the power button right?
yes you hold down the power button and they turn on.
@@LearnToSurvive574 Thanks! I wasn't holding it down long enough
@@GUYMAN261 I had the same problem, but like you I figured it out. It is also the call button. That's what confused me.
@@GUYMAN261 good to hear you got them working and aother tip you can recharge regular household aa battries you can get at the dollar store or hardware store wal mart and have a spare set that can be rechared in the raido
The batteries will not hold a charge that came with them
Bought a pair at the dollar store for 5 $ years ago ,worked for 2 miles in mild terrain
not too bad. ive used them both in town in the woods and out in open flatlands in town i am doing about a mile to half mile town here is not like a city its a small midwest town woods about a half mile open flat lands 2 2 and a half miles
It won’t let me connect these with other walkie talkie brands can you help me?

Is there a good headset for these?
actually onn makes a nice one they should be right next to the walkies they are comfortable and sound pretty damn good they are a in the ear style
Learn To Survive do you happen to know the brand and model?
@@joninfiction The brand is ONN the same as the maker of the raidos and they are made for that raido
Learn To Survive ive tried searches for an ear piece made by the dame company made for this model and I couldn’t find anything. I did again just now, all I can find are eat pieces made for other walkie talkies.
Do you show a sound test of how clear the voice sounds like?

I mean the book says it has a neighborhood range of 1mile
i would say no unless in optimal envroment flat land and no blockage
I am with a snow ski group who uses channel 49. It appears these radios do not have channel 49. So I need Motorola or some other brand it appears.
