Midland walkie talkies are popular devices for communicating with others, whether you’re on a search party, at a work site, or just out camping with friends. However, changing channels and privacy codes on a Midland walkie talkie can be a little tricky, especially if you’re used to other radios that allow you to just hit a button to change channels.
In this post, we’ll go through the steps you need to take to change channels and privacy codes on a Midland GX T1000 walkie talkie.
First, turn on your Midland GX T1000 and note which channel it’s currently set to (in this case, it’s channel 1). If you want to change to a different channel (let’s say channel 3), you can’t just hit the up or down button like you would on some other radios. Instead, you need to hit the Menu key once. This will make the number for the channel start flashing. You can then use the up or down buttons to scroll to the channel you want (in this case, channel 3). Once you’ve selected the channel you want, hit the Push-to-Talk button to confirm the change.
If the members of your group are using privacy codes, you’ll need to set those as well. To do this, hit the Menu key twice. This will give you the option to turn privacy codes on or off. If you want to turn them on, select the option to add the CTCSS codes. You can then use the Menu key and the up or down buttons to select the appropriate code to match the other Midland or consumer GMRS radios in your group. Once you’ve selected the code you want (in this case, code 05), hit the Push-to-Talk button to confirm the change.
It’s important to make sure that everyone in your group has their privacy codes set to the same values to ensure proper communication.
