I have a set of Midland GXT1000 2-ways from maybe 10 years ago. Recently, I purchased another set, same model, for my daughter and husband. If I set all of them on channel 1, the two old ones talk to each other, and the two new ones talk to each other, but the old and new don’t talk to each other.
For kicks, I set the new ones on channel 1, then hit SCAN on the old ones. It latched on to channel 15 of the old, and they were able to communicate properly. So I started mapping the channels:
NEW Unit OLD Unit
1 15
2 16
3 17
4 18
5 19
6 20
7 21
16 1
17 2
18 3
19 4
20 5
21 6
22 7
None of the other channels match up with any other channels.
Am I doing something wrong here? The settings are identical except that on the old model, when you hit MENU, it displays 1 00…the 1 being the channel. But I cannot affect the 00 at all. The new model only shows the number 1.
Any help would be appreciated.
