Adaptive Power Control Technology
An industry first, Motorola's Adaptive Power Control technology permits high power operation (up to 5-Watt) with alkaline batteries. APC allows the radio to operate up to 16 hours in the high power mode. This is accomplished by automatically reducing the output power, as the batteries are discharged, to maintain normal radio operation.
Wide Frequency Bands
The GP68 portable radio is available in VHF (136-174 MHz) and UHF (430-470 MHz) frequency bands. The wide frequency band gives users the flexibility to select the frequency for use in their respective work environment.
Keypad and Non-Keypad Models
The GP68 portable radio comes in keypad and non-keypad models. The keypad model allows access to a land-line telephone interconnect (See DTMF Encoding).
Flexible Power Source
Both models can operate using either rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery pack with low and high capacity or six standard AA alkaline batteries with variable power output. An optional rechargeable (NiCd) battery pack is also available as optional accessories for use with the GP68 portable radio.
Flexible Dealer Programming
The GP68 portable radio enables your dealer to configure it to suit your communications needs. The flexible programmed parameters include: frequencies in increments of 5,10,12.5,15,20 or 25 kHz, transmit-to-receive repeater offsets, up to 20 memory channels, PL and DPL codes by channel, DTMF PTT-ID code, individual, group and all-call DTMF ID codes (DTMF decoder option required).
Cloning Operation
The GP68 portable radio features radio-to-radio cloning. This allows the user to transfer the essential operating parameters from one radio to another in just a few easy steps using a cable with standard audio plugs.
Channel Scan With Nuisance Channel Delete
When the radio is programmed for channel scan, it rapidly scans through all the memory channels seeking one with activity. To remove the very active channel, simply press the scanning button.
DTMF Encoding Keypad (Keypad Model)
The latest GP68 keypad model comes equipped with the Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) tones that are encoded using the 4 x 3 keypad on the radio to access a Iand-line telephone network. The keypad provides support for DTMF digits O to 9, and the characters A, B, C, D, * and #. Additional DTMF telephone interconnect features include last number radial and memory storage up to 9,12-digit telephone numbers.
Side Monitor Buttons
The GP68 portable radio comes with a Side Monitor Button to easily monitor channel activity.
RadiusPort Expansion Capability
The GP68 portable radio has the capability to interface with a family of option boards that are easily installed into the RadiusPort to expand the radio's capabilities as business needs grow.

Other Features

Manufactured With Motorola
Backed Proven Quality
Quality and reliability are trademarks of all Motorola 2-way radios. The GP68 portable radio is no exception. Each model must pass Motorola's Accelerated Life Testing simulating 5 years of hard use in real life and meets the MIL-STD 810 standards and also meets EIA RS-316B in Shock, Vibration, Dust, Humidity and IP54 for Sealing.
Optional
SmarTrunk II® Capability
An additional capability of the GP68 portable radio is its compatibility with Selectone's SmarTrunk II® trunking system when it is equipped with an optional logic board. This cost effective trunking system provides telephone interconnect, unit-to-unit calling and several levels of priority.
Voice Selective Call
You can increase your radio's capability if it is equipped with an optional DTMF Decode board that supports Voice Selective Call. With the DTMF Decode board, your radio can be called individually by another user or as part of a small group.
Two-Year Warranty
As a firm believer of six-sigma quality, Motorola extends this philosophy of excellence to its warranty program. It is the only manufacturer in Asia that offers a two-year warranty for all its two-way radios for protection against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service.
ISO 9001 Standard
All Motorola GP68 portable radios are manufactured under the ISO 9001 Standard - an international quality system that demonstrates quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing of a product.
ISO 9001 is a distinct level that encompasses and exceeds those of the ISO 9002 (production, installation and servicing) and ISO 9003 (final inspection and test). Motorola's product excellence has led to its achievement of the ISO 9001 Standard by the manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia.
