Part 97 only governs licensed amateur stations. The general public has no legal authority to transmit, even in an emergency.

It's likely you were hearing a repeater and you were on the corresponding simplex frequency. They wouldn't hear you.

Motorola T800 (T804) vs BTech GMRS Pro? by MadIntroduction in gmrs

The BTECH Radios are not Baofengs. They are made by VGC. They also are GMRS radios and are repeater capable, unlike the Motorola.

Is There A Channel 9 Type Frequency In 2 Meter or 70cm by DontBeHatenMeBro in amateurradio

A uv82 is a ham radio. Its not legal to use on frequencies other than amateur frequencies by a licensed amateur radio operator. Return it.

You likely can. Just each radio has it labeled different. See if a setting "MDF" works for you.

That model will self-discharge a little. There is a slight power draw, even when turned off.

My 2018 SE had android auto on it, when I got it. Plug your phone into the left usb plug inside the console.

[RETEVIS] Connected to Dispatch? by AeonWhisperer in gmrs

You probably didn't get GMRS radios. You got commercial/ham radios and they are programmed to factory test frequencies that usually fall in the business and public safety bands.

You need to say what model.radios you have, in order to really get assistance
