When programmed to do so, your GP-68 will quickly SCAN the channels you want it

to.

To Scan Channels

Press

(SCAN/D) momentarily to begin channel

scanning.

When the 'SCAN' indicator flashes. channel scanning is in

progress and the 'Home' channel is displayed (until activity is

received on another channel).

Initially, the channels are scanned in an increasing order

(from lowest to highest). To scan in a decreasing order, rotate

the selector switch counter-clockwise To change the direction

back to an increasing order rotate the selector switch clockwise.

The radio scans through all channels that are in the scan list If

receive activity is detected on a channel, the 'SCAN' indicator

remains on, the channel number is displayed and the

conversation can be heard, provided the PL/DPL code (if

required) is correct for that channel.

The display reverts to the 'Home' channel and scanning resumes when activity is

over and a 7 second 'hang time' has expired.

To stop scan operation, press

The 'SCAN' indicator turns off to indicate scanning is terminated and the radio

displays the 'Home' channel.

To Transmit During Scanning

When keying the radio corresponding to a received message during channel

press PTT as you normally would.

Talk Back Scan

The Talk Back Scan feature is used when PTT is pressed while the radio has

stopped on a channel. When transmit or receive activity ceases on a scanned

channel, a "hang time" of approximately 7 seconds occurs prior to the radio

resuming scan. This hang time gives the radio time to receive again or gives you

time to respond to a call on the locked channel before scanning resumes.

Home Revert Scan

If you press PTT while the he radio is scanning (i.e. the scanner is not locked on any

channel), transmission occurs on the "Home" channel (i.e. the channel that was

active when the scan operation was initiated). After Home transmit and receive

activity ceases the radio resumes channel scanning after the hang time has expired.
