Priority Scan

The SportCat has 10 Priority Channels, 1 per Bank. Initially these are the first channel in each Bank. (e.g. Channel 1, Channel 11, Channel 21, and so on.) In priority scan mode, the scanner checks the Priority Channel(s) every 2 seconds during the Scan cycle. If a transmission is received, the scanner will stop at that channel. If the Priority Channel in any Bank is “Locked Out”, it will be skipped during scanning.

You can move the Priority to any other channel in a Bank as follows:

1.Go directly to that channel using any of the methods described above.

2.Press and hold for at least 2 seconds. You will hear “two beeps,” andP will appear on the display to the left of the new channel number. That channel will now be the Priority Channel for that Bank. (The P will no longer appear for the previous Priority Channel.)

To activate Priority Scan, press . The PRIORITY indicator will appear at the bottom of the display. To

deactivate Priority Scan, press again. The PRIORITY indicator will disappear from the bottom of the display.
