Pls suggest solution for this RX issue
The Midland GXT1000 is a GMRS radio with fixed channels and is not programmable.
Can you add a frequency like if your work uses raidos and i want to use my own?
What is the make and model of these radios?
Hi Collin, The Midland GXT1050 is a GMRS radio and operates on UHF frequencies. A CB radio operates on VHF frequencies. A GMRS radio will not communicate with a CB radio because they operate on different bands.
My kids have a set that one on the radios the P.T. and alert work and go through to the other radio. However it will not pick up your voice to transmit to the other. The other works percent to send and receive. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
My Midland XTalker Model T51VP3 two way radios are beeping with an RX up in the right corner. Can anyone tell me what that means and how to fix them.
I was wondering if my Midland GXT 1050 Xtra-talk could communicate with some of the cb radios on the market. A friend and I are trying to communicate with these but we are just outside of the range of 3 miles in a suburban area. We were thinking of getting one cb radio and then communicating with it. Would that work? Thanks for all of the help!
What is the make and model of the radio?
I'm a 11 year old kid that has his walkie talkie stuck in weather mode I've read the manual I've watched videos why is this happinging and how can I fix
I have the same problem.
cant get the walkie off weather channel
I have a set of lxt 650 Midland two ways when I got them they worked on the same channel now I have to have one on channel one and one on channel 16 in order to get them to work with each other and they only get about a hundred yards in range is there anything I can do to fix this? I have the ctcss off and the DCS off on both of them I have tried changing them to different codes and everything and nothing I do is working and these radios are only about 4 months old
That may require some troubleshooting on the one radio. You may need to contact Midland.
One of my 8 XT models keeps sending a false TX signal to the other 7 and they are squelching and receiving an RX signal even though no one is pressing the PTT button. How can we remedy this problem? Thanks.
Is there anyway to disable the call button on the Midland T61A?
Hi Dana, your GXT and LXT radios are indeed compatible with each other. If all the radios are on the same channel, chances are your GXT radios are configured to use a CTCSS/DCS interference eliminator code on that channel and the LXT radios are not configured with the same code or any code at all.
To fix this, simply check your GXT radios to find out what CTCSS or DCS code the channel is assigned to and set your LXT radios to the same code on the same channel.
For more information on these codes and how to perform a quick fix, check out our video Radio 101 - Privacy Code Issues on GMRS Radios. For a more detailed explanation on CTCSS/DCS codes, listen to The Two Way Radio Show episode TWRS-08 - Talking Publicly About Privacy Codes.
We have Midland GXT radios and just bought the Midland LXT radios, thinking they would communicate back and forth. If we talk on the GXT, we can hear it on both radios, but if we talk on the LXT, we can only hear it on the LXT models. This only gives us a one way communication. I thought they were somewhat universal and that they were compatible. Can you please advise?
I have 2 gxt 1050 walkie talkies and they worked fine, when I turned the 1 on, it was fine. I turned the 2 one on and it would turn on but none of the buttons were working, I've trying everything that I can do but like get new batteries, I'm trying everything and nothing is working, but like I said the walkie talkie is on, the orange light will go on when I turn the walkie talkie on. I just don't know, I don't know if I should just go puy new ones. Any tips????
I have 4 Midland gxt745 radios and the rx is constantly on and static drives me crazy. How can I stop this and have my radio go back to normal. I have 2 radios that do this. The other 2 don't.
Hi Jacquie, Although the Midland LXT210 was discontinued awhile back, the owners manual is still available for download on product page.
