I want to scan something that would normally be locked out by the GPS, from my current predefined range. I do not want to go and change settings for systems. Frankly I think it's a bit of a design flaw. If you disable the GPS, everything should be available.

If you do disable the GPS, in other words "do something that disrupts the scanner from receiving GPS input", then everything IS there and IS scanned. Powering down the GPS device, unplugging the data cable or setting the scanner's baud rate to something other than the normal 4800 bps of GPS devices, should be that "disrupter".
What happens when an x96 scanner receives GPS data, it looks at all location values programmed in the scanner. It compares the "programmed location" to the "GPS reported location". If a System/Site/Group is outside the range, it changes the Lockout status from Unlocked to Temporary L/O. (Anything that is Locked Out, stays Locked Out because the scanner won't try to out-think you).
This is not a design flaw. You are expecting the scanner to read your mind as in "In this case I want you to do this, but in another case I want you to do something else." You are going to have to give it a little more information so it will give you the desired results. Unfortunately revising your programming is that additional information.
