This radio started out as a GP1280 (Euro HT1550), that was reflashed to be a GP380. 255 Channels Continous Rotary...14-Character Display
Select-V Signalling
the problem i am having is when the radio is sitting around with nothing around it..it RX VERY WELL .. when i touch the antenna during a ch. that is Rx'ing i loose the traffic or when the radio is on my duty belt i dont hear any traffic but as soon as i put the radio out in to the open it works fine.......does anyone have any idea what to do???
Start the tuner and look at the frontend settings.It looks like the original tuning data was not programmed into the radio.
Try to adjust the frontend with a low power transmitter and check the reference frequency.
well i swapped antennas it is a lil better but he is going to send me his factory cable to use w/ global tuner. to adjust the frontend with a low power transmitter and check the reference frequency
as soon as i put the radio out in to the open it works fine.....even with a true factory whip antenna i still have CH's that RX is poor when it is on my duty belt....i have global tuner but cant access the freq. list to change the softpot or even know how to adjust anything in it.........if someone can either walk me thru. it or email me on how to do it i can paypal you some cash for helping me out..........
Like I said, i'm sending my RIB and Cables to you so that you can tune it a bit better to correct the problem. I'll walk you through the process as well over the phone.
