User questions & answers

Question:	Is it required internet service (data/wifi) when send/receive messages? Thanks
Answer:	No. You will be sending / receiving location data and text messages via the radios. Only requirement is that both parties are in range of each other.
Question:	Can I connect Motorola T800 to car bluetooth
Answer:	I don't believe so
Question:	Can it charge with just a regular micro usb cable
Answer:	Yes. The charger actually is dual micro USB with a 110v plug.
Question:	When off grid can you text anyone or just people within 35 miles who are off grid with the same radio
Answer:	There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices. Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus. One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet). At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type). What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised. When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the radio have a 12v plug or does it need to be wired up
Answer:	And no there is no 12v plug or anything. Just has a positive and negative for wiring to your power supply of your choosing. And yes to needing to be wired up which is easier than you think.
Question:	If I wanted to hook this CB up to the cigarette lighter socket, what kind of cord do I need to purchase
Answer:	The CB has two wires built in so all you would need is a cigarette lighter socket adapter and wire it up. The wires are about 4' long so you should have no problems where you mount it. The wiring is very easy - that's the set up I have so I can unplug and remove the CB when I'm just driving around locally.
Question:	Do i need to buy and antenna for this? Or does it come with one
Answer:	It needs an antenna regardless? There is no internal one? Is it ok to leave the small antenna inside the vehicle? Like in the trunk or glove box?
Question:	What is frequency output range?what is the wattage
Answer:	The 520XL can also be taken to any CB shop and be "peaked and tuned" to over double the factory power. This is a very common practice that any trucker will do with his/her CB. This radio, peaked and tuned will deliver 8.5-9.0 watts with 17-18 watt peaks. This is more than twice the factory (legal) power, and adds significant range and clarity to your radio. As far as I am aware, there are no other compact radios on the market with the ability to be peaked and having the RF gain control in a compact unit is AWESOME. This radio is a gem. Buy it, peak it, love it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the charging cable usb 2 to charge in the car or pc, etc
Answer:	All natural ingredients and lanolin free! Here are the ingredients:Olea europaea (organic olive) oil, Theobroma cacao (organic cocoa) seed butter, Butyrospermum parkii (organic shea) butter, Euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, Mangifera indica (mango) butter, Calendula officinalis (organic calendula) flower extract
Question:	The page lists the battery as LI-Ion in one spot, and NI-MH in another....which one is it
Answer:	I used nursing pads for a long time, but towards the end I didn't and I don't remember after washing them there being a stain. But if it does stain your bras this product is well worth it!!!
Question:	A pair of radios and two chargers
Answer:	Hi I work with butters and oils and make handmade products. The grainy texture is normal, this is the Shea butter. Shea butter that is raw and unrefined is notorious for creating a bead like grainy texture once it melts and hardens but it is completely fine. It does not affect the quality or benefits of the product and still contains the skin nutrients your skin loves. On a side note, if refined shea was used then the product would never get grainy even if the heat melted it and hardened again however refined oils and butter generally have lost most if not all the nutrients in the oil or butter BUT will still moisturize your skin. Hope I cleared it up a bit.
Question:	Did this come with case and headphones?like pic
Answer:	Love this product. I used it with all 5 of my breastfeeding babies. They have another faces cream for that help eczema. The Angel baby butt balm also works for skin issues.

Answer:	As described, it comes with two chargers -- one is a single and the other is a double so you can charge two of these at once. I'm not sure what you mean by 220v? If you mean can you plug them into a standard American outlet then yes, but normal plug-in is 110 in most American homes.
Question:	how far will it go im range and is it water proof
Answer:	not waterproof range depends on terrain from 1/2 mile to 5 miles
Question:	Do you have to get the fcc license to use these? if so, how much is it and how long does it take to obtain one
Answer:	Since Motorola didn't exactly make this clear in their documentation.

Question:	Sir can you please advise as to the location of the speaker is it chassie mounted or in the mic
Answer:	Chassie mounted.
Question:	does it have a scan mode
Answer:	It does have a scan mode. There are a lot of good features in this radio but the radio is pretty bad. I have seen a lot of good reviews and made my decision based on them. I wish I would have gotten something different. Waste of 100 bucks if you ask me.
