For testing reasons only: working with some kids paw patrol radios and found the operation frequency and on a separate radio programmed the channel and can hear on it but can’t be heard on the original kids radio. Check the fcc id and I don’t see any other info about a tone squelch. What am I missing?
So, please don't roast me on this, I DO know this is a $#^&ty little toy radio, but I bought it because I collect clear walkie talkies. I thought it might be fun to see if it's actually useful (like back yard "babe grab me a beer" useful at best), but I can't find any programming software for it. There seem to be 2 or 3 companies that stick their name on this model though. The retailer (seller on Aliexpress) was of course no help and frankly they're a dick. It was a longshot anyway). And the included manual was not at all helpful, and seemed to pertain to a similar, but different radio.

For shits 'n giggles I captured the frequencies that were already programmed along with the tones.

Doesn't make much sense to me really. I certainly won't be crushed if it just collects dust, but I though someone might know something about this stupid thing!
