Getting radios to talk to each other

[WQYY239]

Got an odd one and I must be missing something

Two Radios a Midland 275MXT and a new 575MXT

They don't seem to be able to hear each other..

Tried setting up channels with same privacy code. Using no privacy code.. etc etc... 

Grabbed a small hand held FRS and set all three to Channel 7. Both midlands can receive and transmit with the FRS radio but not to each other other on that channel

What am I missing?

With Midlands, it is probably a feature and not a bug!

How close are the radios to each other when you're transmitting?

Vehicles are about 20 ft apart. Never been a problem between 275s. Did wonder if they were too close.. Let me go experiment with that.

Yah, move one down the street and try it and make sure you have NO codes set on either radio (to remove complexity).
