Selecting Bandwidth
All Channels on your T7100 and/or T7200 GMRS radios are set to 12.5 kHz out of
the factory:
By being set to 12.5 kHz bandwidth, your radio can communicate clearly with the
Motorola T6400 GMRS radio and any FRS radio in your group.
You must match your radio’s bandwidth to that of the other radios in your group. To
match your bandwidth to that of the GMRS radios that you want to talk to at 25 kHz,
you must set your radio to 25 kHz. To do this:
•Turn your radio Off.
•Turn your radio back On while pressing M and J.
•A triple power-up chirp will sound indicating that your radio is now set to 25 kHz
bandwidth on all GMRS Channels, if Button Beeps are enabled.
•Now you can talk to Motorola Talkabout Distance GMRS radios.
•All Channels except 8-14 are now set to 25 kHz.

Understanding Repeater Channels
If you have a GMRS Repeater and wish to use it, you must set your
T7200 to repeater mode. Those Channels are identified on the
display by having both x in the Interference Eliminator Code area
and l at the bottom right of the display. They are identified as
channels 15 x - 22 x.
To enable Repeater Channels on your T7200:
•Turn your radio Off.
•Turn your radio back On while you press and hold the M and B for 3 seconds.
A unique power-up chirp will sound (if Button Beeps are enabled) indicating that your
radio now has repeater capability. Now you can talk to other T7200 radios that are
set to your same Repeater Channel, Interference Eliminator Code, and Eavesdrop
Reducer Code.

A single power-up chirp will sound (if Button Beeps are enabled) indicating that your
radio now has returned to normal Channel mode.
Channels 15 x - 22 x will no longer appear on your display.
Setting Repeater Channels
Once you enable your Repeater Channels on your T7200:
•Press ] to scroll up to Channel 15 x - 22 x, located just after Channel 22.
•When you scroll to a repeater Channel, the selected Interference Eliminator
Code will be displayed briefly. Then, x will appear in these digits to indicate
repeater operation. l will also display when you are on a Repeater
Channel.
Setting Repeater Interference Eliminator Codes
The Interference Eliminator Codes for GMRS Repeater Channels 15 x - 22 x and
GMRS Direct Channels 15-22 are linked. This means that when you change the
Code on a GMRS Repeater Channel, the Code on the equivalent GMRS Direct
Channel will change as well and vice versa (i.e. If you are on Channel 15, Code 30
and you change to Code 31, then the Code will automatically change from 30 to 31
on Channel 15 x). To change your Repeater Interference Eliminator Code:
•Press the ] to scroll up to any Channel between 15 x - 22 x.

15 x- 22 x.
Note: To enhance your radio’s performance, remove the GMRS
direct or GMRS Repeater Channels that you do not plan to
use from the Scan List (see page 28.) For example, it
would be beneficial to remove Channel 16 from your Scan
List if you are using Channel 16 x and vice versa. Your radio will talk back
on the correct transmit frequency if you follow this procedure.
If you need additional help, please refer to Scanning on page 27.

Weather (T7200)
You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it when you take
your Motorola Talkabout T7200 radio with you. That's because it tunes into
broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a Weather Channel or you can even set your radio to alert you
to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.
Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States
and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other
information 24 hours a day.
Note: Service may not be available in all areas. Check with your local weather
office for frequency and details, or visit www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr, (Canada:
www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/cd/factsheets/wxradio). The use of the NOAA logo
does not provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by NOAA's
National Weather Service nor does the use of the Weatheradio logo provide
an endorsement or implied endorsement by Environment Canada.
Whenever you listen to a Weather Channel, you cannot use your radio for two-way
communications. However, a weather alert will notify you while the radio is in two-
way mode (if you have enabled weather alert) and the radio is On but not transmitting
or receiving.
Turning On Weather Channel Reception
To turn on Weather Channel Reception, press and hold G. To turn off Weather
Channel Reception and return to two-way mode, press and hold G again.

Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives eight frequencies. See the Weather
Frequency Chart on page 43. for a complete list.
•After turning on the weather broadcast, press [ or ] to
select the strongest Channel.
As with two-way radio reception, Weather Channel Reception depends on how close
you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Also, because
Weather Channels are transmitted without Codes, they may contain static or noise.
Note: The Talkabout T7200 two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios
primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio
uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions.
Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way
communication (either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you do not
miss a weather alert, leave the radio in the Weather Mode.
Note: In some isolated areas, it may not be possible to receive
Weather Channel Transmissions.
To Set Weather Alert:
•Switch to weather mode,
•press \ once, and
•press [ or ] to select Y (On).
•If you activate Weather Alert and return to two-way mode,
