Can these communicate with CTCSS/DCS-equipped radios that have privacy codes/sub-channels?

I'm not sure I bought them for the kid because all the kids walki's are cheap. Sorry not much help.

I can tell you from my actual present experience that the only pairing I have tried is between my Midland LX500VP3 with another trademark walkie talkie which has various channels ranging from 1-15 and they three communicate well. Sorry if I could not help you with my answer.

I don't really know. We use the Motorola radios in my security work. Uniden is more of a public citizen's band radio.

Ours does not have that functionality but Grace has a WiFi radio that does. If you have Sirius setup on your computer you could add it to the My Personal Stations and access it that way.

It is not, you have to provide the radio id to whichever monitoring company you decide to go use. Even though I bought the 4G radio, i don't even use it (too expensive - even using wifi as a primary connection the monitoring still jumps up to almost $40 with the 4G radio as a backup)

I encountered one organization that was using these radios out of the box. When I did some investigating, I discovered that they were using the radios on a frequency that was licensed to a local hospital for MEDCOM! Any use of these radios (in the United States at least) REQUIRES a license!

Go to RadioReference.com and look up your city/town. If they are digital, the squelch codes will be NCS or DCS, if not (if they are analog) it will show a PL for the squelch code.

These are two-way radios and do not need to be programmed. You do not need a license to use these in the U.S.

2 parts to this answer......the radio is not Part 90 FCC Certified, so technically it's illegal to use on those frequencies. Will the radio key up VHF/UHF Commercial/Public Service Repeaters, yes it will with the right pl or ctcss tones. It's difficult to program by hand, but takes 15 seconds with the usb programming cable and CHIRP software which is free to download.

Yes it can communicate in the same frequency band (156-157MHZ). HOWEVER, be advised it contains no circuitry to provide of automatic switching to emergency channels and is NOT water proof, (non-submersible) nor even weather resistant. Also it does not have any type of geolocate ID/ALI sending feature. In a pinch when a vessel is in distress I certainly wouldn't want a splash of water taking out my only means of survival safety.

The Simultalk 24G has two way communication, but anyone using one of the radios can turn off their "talk" feature, making it one way communication. I would think you would want some two way capability so that both parties can acknowledge that the units are working. I have tried many different radio sets over the years for backstage communications during theatrical productions and the Simultak 24G's are the ONLY ones that have ever worked reliably. You get what you pay for.

Yes, The other 655 has to key the transmit to allow allow location visibility.

Yes. My agency uses only digital and encrypted systems. I carry a Motorola XTS5000 radio that changes it's encryption key monthly and this mic/earphone system works perfectly. Since it is a wired (vs. wireless) system, it has whatever capability your agencies comm gear has.

You can select what they call "privacy channels". That means you will not hear unwanted conversations from outside your party. However, anybody on that channel not using a privacy channel will hear what you say. I really like these radios because you can turn off ALL the beeps and tones when you transmit. You can also lock the settings if you loan these radios when talking car to car or boat to boat on a trip. I have not lost a loaner yet. I have 8 of these radios.

The signal is not encrypted. Your neighbor would need the same receiver in range and on the same channel.

I don't think so. Its only made to communicate with other bluetooth devices and similar units to itself. CB radios are a different animal entirely.

The transmission frequencies of these units are 4.9~ 5.9GHz (with Dynamic Frequency Selecting (DFS)). 256 encryption that can not be changed.

Yes, provided you and the person that has the Uv5-ra has the same frequencies programmed in the radios (including ctcss tones if needed)Both radios have the same frequency ranges, so if its being used for business or public safety use they are both part 90 certified and can be used for your business channel pair or your agencies frequency, both radios are also narrow band compatible and are acceptable with the new business/public safety bandwidths that are needed for the latest operation rules.
