Uniden USC 2500XL T manual Setting Up Priority Channels

Setting Up Priority Channels

When you assign "priority" to a bank channel, you designate one bank channel as your most important channel.

During scanning the UBC 2500XL T works like a "dual watch" function. It starts "sampling" or keeping track of the activity on the Priority Channel while listening to other channels. Every 2 seconds, the scanner checks the Priority Channel for activity.

If a signal is present, the Priority Channel will be monitored until the transmission ends, and scanning resumes. If DELAY is activated, scanning resumes after 2 seconds.

Note: The Priority feature is also active in Manual, Search and WX Modes.

Each bank comes with one programmable Priority Channel (the lowest channel in each bank). You can reassign Priority Channels to any bank channel if the displayed Channel Number is 200 or less (Banks 1 through 10). In multi-Priority Channel operation, the lower channel number has higher

priority .

Note: Priority settings are not erased when you turn off the scanner, or after a power failure.

To set up a Priority Channel:

1.FIrstprogram your most important frequency into a bank channel.

2.Press and hold [PAl] for more than 2.5 seconds.

A "P" appears on the display to indicate the designated channel.

Note: Any previously assigned Priority Channel within the same bank is automatically deselected.
