Motorola Quickstick - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Bought a used Motorloa Mag
Your radios will need to be programmed by a Motorola dealer. The software used to program the radios is a Motorola proprietary software and not for sale, but most dealers have a subscription to it.The loud buzzing indicates the channel you are on is not programmed.Best regards.
Mag one wont get reception
First you check the volume, turn the volume, then you check your speaker. If both are ok then you check QT and DQT. These character must be same.
Green light stays on bpr40
If this is after programming your radio needs repaired. We see this when some BPR40s are reprogrammed. Take the radio to your local service center or send to a qualified repair center.
Motorla two way radio not charging
Clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser and be certain the radio is turned off while setting on the charger. If this does not solve the problem, try a different battery in the charger to see if the charger is working properly. If the problem is not the charger, then replace your battery.
Removal battery clip
This can be a trick. You can slide a small screw driver between the battery and the clip to release the clip. Sometimes you need a third hand. Tapping the bottom of the belt clip on the edge of a counter while slipping the screwdriver in the sweet spot will sometimes help.
All my radio will transmit is static
First check your battery pack. A bad or low battery will produce static. Secondly, check your antenna. If it seems to turnaround inside when you hold on to the threads and the outer sheath, you need a new antenna. Beyond this your radio is likely in need of repair.
Best regards.
Why radio does not work with headset plugged in
Well there are a few possiblilities:
1 - If the headset is not an OEM part then the wiring or jack may not match or the impedances may be mismatched.
2 - When you say doesn't work you need to be more specific.
VOX capable y/n, VOX Working y/n, PTT on head set y/n, etc.
3 - Has the radio phone/mic jacks ever been modified?
Good Luck with the testing
SQUELCH NOISE AFTER PTT
Monitor function and PTT are often either side by side or on the same key. (Upper or lower portion of key). You may be hitting both or the wrong side of the button. Cheers.
Radio Tuning
That radio is easily programmable for other, or additional frequencies in the same band. I believe (I've been out of the business for a while) you need a special computer interface and software in order to affect a change. I'd contact a Motorola shop. You will also need to be licenced for the new frequency. I hope this helps.
