Baofeng gt3-wp

[Keegan69]

I have just received my gt-3wp and I have cleared all pre-programmed frequencies but channels 0 and 127 are still on and I have manually reprogrammed it to have channels 1-19. And I have pushed the scan button and it would only scan channels 0 and 127 ??? And I can't get it to scan in T-CTCS or T-DCS mode. And when I try downloading it's program's from a site. I get an error message from Java. I am running Windows 10. And have been for about 9 months. So I can't go back to Windows 7. Can anyone help me. Keegan69

Did you program it manually or did you use CHIRP?

 

[Keegan69]

I ended up manually programming it. But still doesn't scan my feq. And can't scan T-CTCS or T-DCS still.

You are probably doing it OK, but a review won't hurt.
1. You must start in the upper display in FREQ. MODE (line A),
2, Enter the first freq.
3. Push MENU > 27 > MENU > 001 > MENU (now your 1st freq. is in CH 001)
Repeat for your other freqs.
After all your freqs. are entered, Press and HOLD the * SCAN button to begin scanning.
Press again to stop scanning.

To clear channels zero and 127:
1. Push MENU > 28 > MENU > 000 > MENU (Now CH 000 is cleared),
2. Push MENU > 28 > MENU > 127 > MENU (Now CH 127 is cleared),

[Keegan69]

What's on the screen in:
1. Channel Mode.
2. Freq. Mode.

 

[Baker845]

turn the radio off and press menu button when turning on the radio it will say channel mode. once in freq mode you can scan.

Not necessary. The GT-3 has a VFO/MR button.

 

[Baker845]

We are talking about the GT-3WP radio which doesn't have VFO/MR button.

Is there a SKIP function in the menu? If so, is it set correctly for each programmed memory?

You're right. It looks like a completely different radio than the GT-3. It seems to be in a UV-82 case.

 

[Baker845]

i got my GT-3WP today and it doing the same thing im looking into it now

 

[Keegan69]

Baker845. If you can figure it out please let me know. I really like this radio. But if I can get it to scan my now only 6 channeled frequencies I have imputed. I don't know what to do. Thanks for everyone's help in this.

has anyone found a way to program these from a windows 10 pc yet??

 

[cskuhn]

Did anyone get the Scan function working? Have same issue and for me it makes the radio worthless without being able to scan my stored freqs.
