Communication problem CP125 UHF

[secretsteve235]

Hi so I work for a small security firm about 15 guys and we used to run Motorola Motorola xtn xv2100 VHF with no problems but we only had about 6 of them. This year I was able to get my hands on 18 CP125 UHF just needed new batteries. We got the battery’s and I went ahead and had the radios programs just 1 Channel for us to talk and 1 Channel that lets us talk to the parking lot people. This week when using them I have noticed a lot of missed communications from one officer to another when I am standing close to someone else I can hear the person responding to my question but it is over another officer radio or the base radio in our office. It also does not have to do with distance since it happens when we standing 15-20FT away. But I do know when we are at other ends of the property and they communicate it works were the other ones would not even work. I have also attached a photo of the area in yellow its big but not huge but we have a lot of woods.

I wanted to know if anyone has any ideas if this is something I need to bring back to the programmer or something we are doing or can fix.

Do you have this problem with all the radios or just some of the radios. Do some testing, you may have a programing error or you may have a bad radio or two.

They're probably out of alignment. Frankly I would have NEVER recommended buying THAT model of radio. Speaking as a bench service technician, I can say that I was anything BUT impressed by either the CP125 or CP185. In fact I would not recommend any model starting with CP if it is used.

Would it be a repeater hanging?

There has been no mention of a repeater in this system.

Yes it is more then one radio and very random when it does happen.

LOL trust me not my 1st pick but since they were free and we needed 16 radios STAT I was not going to say no.

Now with the alignment is there a way I can test * not repair * and or how do I find a nice company to go to and what would I be talking price?

Like I said we had the other Motorola and I like them but the Operation owner needed them back and that left us with no radios and we need them. with a MIN of 10 on the floor at all times busy time 14-16.
