I have come into possession of a pair of Motorola MX360 walkie-talkies,
and would like to see if anyone out there can provide me with some
information about them.

They were bought by our department, but have never been used. Right now,
they have bright orange stickers on them stating that they must be
aligned before being used, and that they have been set up for testing
only at 464.5/469.5 rx/tx frequencies. When I key them, all I get is a
continuous tone from the transmitting unit's speaker. As far as I can
tell, I'm not getting any RF from the unit.

They are apparently programmable, as they have a connector on the side
of them, as well as some sort of button within the connector, and a
button on the outside shell next to the connector. There's an A-B-C
switch on top, and a 12-position dial switch too. Oh, yeah... there's a
switch on the inside which opens up when you take the shell off - some
sort of tamper switch?

So someone tell me:

        o What do I have (power, frequency range, channels, PL tones, etc.)?

        o What are the buttons and switches for?

        o Most importantly, how can I program this baby (or who do I take it
          to and how much is it going to cost)?

Please reply directly...

Thanks!
