The Motorola HT1000 radio was a popular 2 way radio with police, firefighter and EMS personnel because it is rugged, small, easy to carry, has excellent voice intelligibility and is affordable. Although no longer in production, these radios are still popular today. It offers Motorola’s widest band range: 136 to 174 Megahertz on full band VHF mode. The HT1000 can also scan all its operating channels and can provide a broad range of signaling options. A problem for would-be users of the HT1000 is that proprietary Motorola software is required to program it.
1Request Motorola radio service software, also known as RSS, from Motorola’s business online site. You will have to register and agree to their terms of use contract.
2Power up your computer and go into DOS mode. You can use a DOS boot disk or restart your computer in Windows DOS. If you don’t work in DOS, you could end up corrupting the software controlling your HT1000.
3Switch your Motorola HT1000 off. Attach your RIB cable to your HT1000 and to your computer’s serial port. Power up your Motorola HT1000 radio.
4Open the directory where you copied the RSS, and start up the HT1000 file. Press enter to get past the first splash screen. Before programming your HT1000, make a backup of your current configuration by pressing F3 then F2 in the Get-Save-Clone menu, and finally F7 to save the configuration to your computer.
5Exit the Get-Save-Clone menu of the RSS by pressing F10. From the software’s main menu press F4 to reach the Change/View Radio Codeplug Data menu. You can use this menu to reprogram every aspect of your Motorola HT1000. Return to the Get-Save-Clone menu and press F7 to save the data your programmed.
6Return to the main menu and press F8 to go to the Program Data Into Radio menu. Press F8 again to proceed with the data writing to your radio. Once the RSS finishes copying the data, power down your radio and disconnect the RIB cable.

How to Setup a Motorola Radio
The Motorola 2 way radio allows two parties to interact with each other over a large area, such as a construction site or during a road trip with two separate cars. Upon receiving your radio, you may have a few questions about how to program certain functions. Using the basic controls on the radio, you can program the date and time, program channels, and communicate effectively and efficiently.
Power
1Lower the battery pack’s top edge under the groove at the top of the battery chamber (located on the back of your radio).
2Press the remainder of the battery pack down into the battery chamber until you hear a subtle snap.
3Place the radio into the battery charger bottom first. Face the front of the radio toward the front of the charger. You see the battery icon on the display of the radio.

How to Program a Motorola Radius CP100
The Motorola Radius CP100 portable 2 way radio is designed for use with other two-way radios operating on the same frequencies. This portable two-way radio has built-in microcomputer technology to allow for the swift changing of operating frequencies. The Radius CP100 has two function buttons (“*” and “**”) that can be programmed with commonly-used frequency stations. The process of programming a Motorola Radius CP100 is fairly straightforward.
1Press the “Menu” button in the center of the panel keypad until you see the “Talking” icon appear on the display screen; then press the “Up/Down” arrow buttons to scroll through the onscreen options to select the “VOX” (voice operated relay) setting. This will adjust the signal sensitivity setting to “Level 1,” Level 2″ or “Level 3.” These levels signify “low,” “medium” and “high” sensitivity, respectively.
2Press the “Z” button to scan for a channel. The CP100 radio will scan through signals and stop at the next available frequency once you press the “Z” button again.
3Press and hold the “PTT” button and the “Z” buttons together for three seconds or until you hear a beep. The “Prog” option will appear on the display screen; then press the “*” or “**” button to program the current frequency to one of either of those buttons.

How Can Walkie Talkies Be Used During a Disaster?
Walkie-talkies are hand-held, 2 way radios that have been used for communication during disasters since World War II. In wartime settings, walkie-talkies were the only means of live communication for the troops back to their headquarters. Since then, walkie-talkies have become popular in the general population because they make possible two-way communication in areas not equipped with phone lines and electricity. Having a walkie-talkie can make a difference in life-threatening emergencies.
In a Disaster
Strategically place emergency kits that contain sets of walkie-talkies in easy-to-access locations. Train your workers in the workplace and your family at home in how to get to the walkie-talkies and use them in a disaster.
Walkie-talkies send messages to one another and don’t require a cell tower to relay signals. That makes them more reliable than cellphones in remote areas where it’s difficult or impossible to get a signal. More advanced walkie-talkie devices are two-way radios that transmit signals over the Family Radio Service (FRS) of the Federal Communications Commission.
Schools, commercial businesses and public facilities are sometimes required to keep a set of walkie-talkies and extra batteries available for communication during a disaster. Each household should have a set handy as well.
Reach for the emergency kit containing the walkie-talkies when disaster strikes. Turn them on, tune into the radio frequency and try to reach someone on the other end. Give one walkie-talkie to someone in your family or group if your kit has more than one. Make sure the communication line is open between the two walkie-talkies before you split up to find help or to help others in an emergency.
Continue to communicate with the other walkie-talkie user and continue to establish a connection with someone outside the disaster area. Some walkie-talkie units are equipped to access the radio, allowing you to tune into a local radio station for updates in the case of a widespread disaster.
