Does the charging base allow me to "drop-in" my MT350R radios or do you still have to use a USB cable port? Can I charge 1 radio at a time?

You do not use the use the USB cable. The charger has to be plugged into and outlet. You drop the radio in to charger and 1 or 2 can be charged at a time. The base also has an insert for a smaller radio that has to be removed. It merely lifts out.

I have model MT351R FRS/GMRS radios, therefore I do not know if the charger station will work on the model MT352TPR radios.

Dear Sir: You can use charge batteries with this radio, but they must all be of the same kind; you can not use different type of batteries because they will damage the radio. As far as I know, you cannot charge batteries while in the radio.

There is only one USB port so you can only charge both devices at the same time if you have a splitter. Otherwise you can only charge one device at a time.

I am not familiar with the MU350R radios but it does work with my MT352R radios. The instructions list it as being compatable with MU and MT series. The charging ports are not as shown in the photo. They are on the bottom of the charger and not the back as shown. I would think that if yours on the bottom it would work. The carger comes with inserts for smaller radios. I have to take them out when charging my radios. Even with the inserts the ports have to be on the bottom of the radio,

Yes, you can charge these by using a USB/cigarette lighter socket instead of the standard 110 volt charger, or if you have one of the newer SUV's there is most likely a 110 Volt inverter plug in the car which will allow you to connect the dual-lead charger that comes with the radios, either of which can power and charge the radio(s) while you drive. There is a waterproof rubber plug on the body of the radio which is where the charger plugs in so you can charge it from any solar recharger, backup power supply or any laptop USB type connector. Mine came with the 110 volt wall charger and a headset for each of the two radios but I had a stack of USB to mini-USB connector cables from previous electronics that worked quite well to recharge from USB ports. There is also a quick charge stand available you just slide the radios down into like a telephone handset charger/cradle as well, but it's an option/accessory. Hope this helps, I intend to buy two more myself.

How did you get the battery pack to work? The two I bought wouldn't fit my radios. Only thought I would have is not making enough contact and not enough current to power Tx.

It does not plug directly into the radio and you will need the docking station. Also, the regular plug that you would use while in the house to charge the radio is hard wired into the docking station. And if I might add, although I like this radio, I have many friends that use the Baofeng UV 5RA. Their radios do everything mine does at 1/3rd the price. I plan to purchase the Baofeng next time.

Subscriptions are assigned to the receiver, so you can't use two receivers (radios) on one subscription. But you can get two docks for one receiver, use one in the auto, and the other in the home. But you will have to take the radio with you each time. they do have deals for the second subscription, so you would not be paying full price if you did get a second receiver.

There are two cables that come with it. One a very short and is attached to the speaker. It's basically meant just for plugging it in while it's sitting directly next to the source. The other one is longer, maybe 12 inches or so and is used for charging as well as audio use. I would think that a quick trip down to radio shack would set you up with everything you need. The connection you would need to link up to is a simple headphone jack. The charging portion is done via USB which comes off if the same (longer) cable. As long as you have some place to plug in the USB for changing I don't see any reason you couldn't put together a rig that would allow you to use the speaker 4 feet away. Keep in mind, you can daisy chain these speakers together by plugging one into the other and then one into the source. Maybe just get a few and chain them together? Either way, hope this helped.

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out. I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

the interface on the radio is a mini to usb. Don't confuse the mini with the micro. a lot of cell phones use the micro

I haven't had that function work properly. Just tried to do that now. I have the radio plugged to charge via a wall wort and then plugged my phone into the USB port...isn't working. I also tried to charge the phone via the hand crank...that's not working.

I guess the battery might be out of order. My MU350R 2-way radio is enough over night for charging. I have two sets which are really excellent for long lasting. Thanks.

Yes. Because you charge it using the included USB cable. You can plug it to any computer's USB port or to a mobile phone charger. The radio does not include a charger.

Correct, this is mainly for an Aux input, but it still is a great charger alone ! You could link it to a fm transmitter also.

You have to have a charging cable that has a USB on one end and then you just plug the cable into the end of the fm transmitter and it will charge as long as it is plugged in.
