Fully Field Programmable
All the operational parametersof the GM350 can be field programmed
by an IBM PC or compatible computer, using Motorola's most advanced
programming software employing a graphical user interface, running
Windows or DOS operating systems.
Up/Down Volume Control
The elimination of rotary volume controls results in increased
radio reliability and higher overall quality at a lower cost. The
GM350 volume control is easy to use and functions just like a
cellular telephone volume control.
Installation Flexibility
The slimiine design and small size of the GM350 provides for
maximum ease of installation in all types of vehicles - even those
with minimal space. Also, the control head can be "reversed" to
ensure that the user always sees the keypad the right way up! An
optional DIN slot bracket provides a neat, stylish installation
solution.
Busy Channel Lockout
Using the optional busy channel lockout function will greatly
improve your communications efficiency and reduce user
annoyance, especially on community repeaters, as this function
prevents different user groups from transmitting "over" each
other.
Ignition Sense
For users where it is important that the GM350 is powered up
and functional whenever the vehicle ignition is on - without the
user having to remember to turn the radio on - the ignition sense
facility is perfect. Combining this feature with the optional
"designated power up channel" means that whenever the vehicle
is started up, there is no danger that the radio will be on the
wrong channel and miss vital messages.
Also, use of ignition sense is a great way to avoid flat batteries
on vehicles that are left standing between operational use.
It's ideal for airport fire engines and other vehicles in the
emergency services!
Dealer Programmable Function Buttons
To provide maximum flexibility, and ensure the operation of your
GM350 radios to match your individual operational requirements,
you may select a number of useful features to be assigned to the
function buttons. Non-Display (4 channel) radios have two function
buttons, whilst Display (128 channel) radios have six function
buttons.
Repeater Talkaround
In situations where it is not required, or desirable to communicate
via a repeater, Talkaround turns the radio into a simplex radio for
back-to-back communications. In addition, it's a vital feature to
ensure continued communications when unforeseen
circumstances cause a repeater to go out of service.
Dual Level Monitor
Any option button can be dealer programmed to offer up to two
levels of monitor operation, such as carrier squelch then open
squelch (volume set).
Single Tone Encode
In addition to having an automatic single tone encode sent
whenever the radio transmits, to access a repeater, it is possible
to also configure a function button to send a single tone, for
manual repeater access.
Scan
The GM350 supports up to 2 scan lists, each of which can be
assigned to any of the function buttons. Both scan lists can
include one priority channel that will be monitored for activity
even if the radio is receiving on another channel! The scan lists
are dealer programmable - however users may temporarily
delete unwanted channels from a scan list using a "nuisance
channel delete" function button.
Several options for transmit operation in scan mode are available
- Talkback:
Transmit on the channel that is currently used for receiving
- Home Revert:
Transmit on the channel displayed prior to entering scan mode
- Last Free:
Transmit on the most recent channel that was free of activity
- Last Busy:
Transmit on the most recent channel that was busy
- Designated Channel:
Transmit on a pre-defined channel
Memory Channel Button
Up to two function buttons can be dealer programmed as
49 memory channel". The GM350 user can store any channel in the
memory button in the same manner as modern FM car radios.
Rapid access to important channels such as an emergency
channel is then available at the press of a button!
Scrambler Related Functions
The 128 channel GM350 option module interface supports the
use of voice scramblers. When a suitable scrambler module is
installed, one function button can be dealer programmed to
provide selection of "coded speech/clear speech" and another
button to provide a "scramble key select" function.
Extemal Loudspeaker
A low cost speaker with 13W of power provides enhanced volume
for high ambient noise applications.
DTMF Microphone
Enables use of the GM350 in systems requiring phone patch
capability, and also is used in Selectone Smartrunk 11 systems.
Handset
The optional telephone style handset accessory may be used
instead of the standard palm microphone to provide privacy on
conversations - whenever the handset is picked-up, the radio's
loudspeaker is disabled, ensuring that only the handset user can
hear the received message.
DIN Mounting Bracket
Allows the GM350 to be neatly installed in a spare "DIN-B" sized
mounting slot often provided in vehicles.
Selectone Smartrunk II Option Board
Motorola approved plug in modules for this popular system are
available for the GM350.
