OTHER OPERATIONAL FEATURES
The BK Radio GPH-CMD Series is based on a microprocessor core
that allows extra features and operational characteristics to be
programmed into the radio. Your dealer can help define the best
operational settings for your system and program them into the radio.
SCAN DELAY
Scan delay lets the radio receive a response
to a transmission before scanning the other
channels for activity. If you find that your
scanner is restarting before message replies
are received, you can ask your dealer to
increase the scan delay time (0-7.5 seconds).
This timer is also used to allow for Talkback
Scan.
HI/LO POWER
Each channel in the radio can be indi vidually
programmed to always transmit in Low-Power
Mode, regardless of the position of the radio's
top switch (or keypad
[FCN]
menu setting). If
the programming for the channel allows high-
power transmissions, the power level can be
selected with a top switch or the keypad
menu.

the channel selected by the Channel Selector
knob.
When a signal is detected, scanning stops and
the message is received. The received
channel is shown in place of the transmit
channel.
Once the signal ends, the radio continues to
monitor the channel for the preset scan delay
time before it resumes scanning.
SCAN CODE GUARD CHANNELS
1.
Slide Switch B (scan) up.
2. Turn the
S quelch knob completely
counterclockwise, past the detent, to the
Code Guard position.
When a signal is detected, scanning stops
while the radio checks for the proper Code
Guard value. If the signal contains the proper
Code Guard value, the radio receives the
message. Otherwise, the radio resumes
scanning immediately.
NUISANCE CHANNEL DELETE
If your radio is programmed for Nuisance
Channel Delete and Channel Scan is
assigned to a top switch (Switch B, for
example), a Nuisance Channel can be
temporarily removed from the Scan List by
sliding Switch B down and then back up.
TRANSMIT WITH SCAN ON
When Switch B (scan) is up, the radio
transmits on the channel selected by the
Channel Selector knob unless Talkback Scan
is enabled or “Transmit on Priority-1” is
enabled (see Priority Scan operation).
1.
Select a transmit channel by turning the
Channel Selector knob.
2. Press and hold the PTT switch and talk in
a normal voice.
