You have to make sure the Mic is in a hangup clip. Also you might have to setup the scan list by holding in on the scan button until the channel starts flashing, then press the select button to add or delete it out of the list.

Thanks, i got it as far to make it flash. i didnt know where to go from there. How do you know if a channel is in the scan mode or not? i need all 8 channels to scan. basically i dont need any channels left out of the scan mode.

press and hold scan until it flashes, then go to each channel and bump the select button to put the channel in/out of scan. it has been so long since i programmed scan list on a GM i forget exactly how without one in front of me, but it is pretty intuitive. i know you have to select a channel 2x for priority, and i think they did 2 priority channels that will overide all others.

If you don't have a hangup clip, a small paperclip works just fine.
