GP68 - keys functions wrong / different from manual?
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:37 pm
I have just acquired a UHF GP68.
The radio works but the key functions are all wrong.
When you toggle the SQL button, its adjusts the repeater offsets +/- rather than allowing the SQL threshold to be adjusted.
When you press SIG (PL toggle?), its like pressing the number 2 key - you get 432.222 being inputted on the LCD
The down arrow key also adjusts the repeater offsets.
I reset the radio to the factory default and now the SQ stays open and I cannot figure out how to adjust the SQL level....the SQL key just adjusts the repeater offset.
Maybe I need to remove the "resister" to allow user programming....but if the resister is still in place, why am I having issues with the buttons.
Maybe its a firmware issue - old firmware which was cloned by a "master GP68" which was running newer firmware?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
