TLK-100 Un-boxing & Basic Functionality

[@messius6860]

How do I reset a few walkie talkies. They keep going out

[@Shahidulislam-me5rx]

This model is simcard network radio?

[@jeffdhartman]

Ted, are you aware of any antenna alternatives for this radio? I am occasionally in a rural area where it is very spotty coverage. I was thinking a non-stubby might help.

[@landon-kq4daa11]

Is there any LTE only talk groups like the ham groups where you can link with other people across the US?

[@piniweiss]

Hi Ted, this is one of the best and only videos on the Tlk 100 and I'm really grateful that you made one. I wanted to ask you, did you by any chance manage to devide between the incoming call sound volume and the actual conversation sound volume, did you manage to differentiate them in controlling them separately? Is there such an option?

[@sixsixonestyle1]

Do these require FCC licensing? How many channels or talk groups can a user get?

[@daisygirl1993]

How much? 🙂

[@lennybauer5296]

Very helpful presentation. Is the TLK100 a two way radio or a cell phone. If it is a two way can you use it while driving which is not the case with a cell phone in California

[@TedFreitas]

it's my understanding that if there is no display on the radio you should be okay. There is a Bluetooth option on this radio so I would just pair a headset with it to be safe.

[@lennybauer5296]

@@TedFreitas Thank you for the reply. The law states you cannot hold the phone while driving. With the TLK100 you need to use the radio button to respond.

[@daisygirl1993]

Tell me, how does that radio work to connect on android phone?

[@TRC_941]

Bluetooth.

[@franciscosaiz87]

Where does one setup the service for these if I order them off of Amazon???

[@TedFreitas]

@@franciscosaiz87 you will have to contact an authorized dealer or try and contact Motorola to setup a WAVE account.

Hey I just got a Couple TLK. 100s for personal use But I also have a general class license and would love to find out if it’s possible to connect with your mountain west DMR group using my tlk, Is that possible? 73 de W3ROK

[@TedFreitas]

The TLK service would have to be through us unfortunately. There is no way to cross connect wave oncloud tenants.

[@cympimpin20]

Does this have any kind of point to point TX/RX capability if cell service is lost, such as in a city wide power outage?

[@P25AES]

If you lose cellular and wifi, this will not work.

[@stevedouglas8457]

Hi Ted does this radio work on zello as well.

[@P25AES]

no

[@backyardmoto5556]

Can other partys purchase same radio and will it be linkable ? Or do I need to purchase radios for everyone

[@TedFreitas]

Yes you can technically purchase a radio from just about anywhere. They just have to be provisioned in the same system. All of our radios come pre-provisioned the way you want them, so it makes it easier for everyone if you purchase them all from the same solution provider.

[@dereklea1183]

Never heard of these. Are these strictly for Ham radio use only?

[@TedFreitas]

Nope, they can be used for just about anything. Just require wireless internet or be in cell range.

[@chrissmith7714]

What's a good shoulder mic to get for the radio?

[@TedFreitas]

RM250 if you want a wired solution or WM500 for a wireless option. Both work extremely well.

[@brandonmartin8729]

Hey ted im in need of your help how do I get more than one channel i bought a couple of them i made the talk groups but the walkie talkies wont leave channel one when moving the rocke4 switch if you could helo me with this it would be helpful

[@TedFreitas]

My guess is there is no one in the channels except for yourself. You can probably contact moto wave support and they can troubleshoot the issue with you on the phone.

[@brandonmartin8729]

Ok thank u

[@brandonbarr2784]

Ke6y ?? Just say David it’s a private line. Roger over and out.

[@jacksontaylor7714]

Can you create your own channel?

[@TedFreitas]

Default is up to 25 talkgroups (channels) more can be added if required.

[@jacksontaylor7714]

@@TedFreitas Thanks for replying so fast! If I were to be communicating with someone across town, would there be a way to make sure people from all over the country aren’t on the channel?

[@TedFreitas]

@@jacksontaylor7714 Each account is set up independently of anyone else so only the devices you purchase are in your account. So say if you purchased 4 units for your business or personal use only those 4 units could potentially communicate with one another.

[@jacksontaylor7714]

@@TedFreitas Thank you so much for the info! Have a great night!

[@xthelxvadameex863]

Hi Ted I was wondering if you have ever had this issue... I cannot talk to everyone unless someone else starts a conversation first, I can message someone directly, but when I hit the talk button I just get low beep

[@TedFreitas]

Sounds like you need to initiate a private call to the other person if you are not in a talk group. You would need to old down the contact button on the left side of the radio until you see the contacts. Then once you see the contact push the PTT to initiate a private call to them. Should resolve your issue. If you do not see any contacts or that specific person he/she is either offline or your Wave OnCloud admin has not assigned their contact to your radio. Might have to reach out to your Wave OnCloud admin. Hope that helps!

[@xthelxvadameex863]

@@TedFreitas I can only private call someone at the moment unless someone else in the group talks first then my light turn green and I'm able to talk but after a couple seconds of no one talking it goes back to orange

can you use zello on it

[@jmmorgenstern7005]

There's one problem take this radio to the Adirondack's going from. New York in New York to Canada. Once you hit the outer rock next these radio's both work. Why no service there take it to? Route. 6? Going from New York new york to upstate new. York? Route 6. Guess guess what those radios aint gonna work? Big piece of paper wait that's for sure. Anyway I hope to have some of grid technologies built into them cause. If not it's not worth anything? Remember what happened to AT&T very? Recently very very recently a matter of fact remember having to AT&T. Well the same thing happens over there because it's over there. There's. No? Coverage ladies have gentlemen. If you go from New York new york to upstate New York. Route 6 over-the-air at LOW cell phone coverage. You go from New York new york and you hit the around. X going? Into. Canada? Guess what you also don't have coverage? Or maybe by a miracle they put coverage they're already maybe by some miracle. But other than that these radios are worth less if they don't have an off grid GMRS or frs or mers frequency. Bands in them or if they don't have a ham radio in them. You could forget about these things because if you going in an oath grid situation. Forget it these radios aint gonna work.

[@shaungilmartin1505]

they look interesting but their proprietary nature and inability to cross platform makes them an expensive dead end for the hobbyist

[@joecromwell9397]

So does this work through your phone?

[@TedFreitas]

Yes it's compatible with iOS & Android Devices

@@TedFreitas So if I have a Verizon phone can I buy this, they link up together and I can radio people?

I am talking about Motorola: I would stay away, far away. I am an exsiting customer. Don't ask for cusutomer service, they NEVER respond. They are horrible. They don't bill correctly and you can NEVER reach them. I will not continue my service after paying all the money I did for the radios! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The equipment works when it works however if you can stand listening to all the weird noises that come from the radios.

[@bobbybeta3967]

Better to go with Hytera POC. Motorola is restricted.
