Enable Scan on a GP300

Post by Captain Strobes »

I have a GP300 portable, model P94YPC20A2AA. It was a 2 channel that I converted it to 16 channels, but the software doesn't give me the option to make the radio scan. Any thoughts. Please??

You have to assign one of the channel positions as scan. I don't think you can slave a button to scan.. It was very common on those to see channel 16 activate scan.. Did you try setting it up like that already?

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

I've programmed a couple of these in the past. The last channel I added into the programming I used the scan setting. On this one, it doesn't give me the option to make it scan, it only has conventional as an option. I was thinking I could copy the code plug from one of the others, but the software won't let me. Arrgh!
