Nuisance Channel Delete in Scan

When the radio scans to a channel that you do not wish to hear, you can temporarily

remove the channel from the scan list using the Nuisance Channel Delete feature.

With the scanner locked on the unwanted signal, press and hold

for about 2 seconds.

To add a deleted channel back into the scan list, you must exit and reenter the

scan function or turn the radio off and on.

Special Scan Mode - Search Mode

There is a Frequency Search Function that is not mentioned in any Motorola manual

printings.

By using the normal style of programming mentioned below you may search through

a range of frequencies between a start and stop frequency like a scanner.

Program a start frequency (normally the lower limit) into channel 19.

Program a stop frequency (normally the upper limit) into channel 20.

By remaining in the Frequency Display Mode at either the start or stop frequency

you have chosen, press the scan button. The GP68 will search between those two

limits until a signal is received.

As with the other 18 channels the Frequency Step Size can be set, i.e. 5, 10, 12.5,

20, or 25KHz. This should be based on the channel spacing Band Plan for the

service and segment of frequencies you wish to search.

You will only be able to do one of these functions at a time.

Note: By going into the SPM Mode (Discussed elsewhere in this document) It would

be wise to delete these 2 channels from the normal channel scan list - by doing this

you will speed up your normal channel scan mode.

Temporary Keyboard Lock Procedure

With your radio in the on position one may temporarily lock the keyboard.

Press and hold the star/lock icon key until "F.Loc" shows on your LCD display.

By doing this you will be able to lock the keyboard only - thus preventing normal

handling from inadvertently changing key/critical parameters. None of the critical

functions such as changing channels, scan function, and hi/low power switching are

affect by the keyboard lock and are still enabled. Once you turn the radio off the

above keypad lock is defeated.
