Setting Priority Channels

You can set one conventional channel in each bank as a priority channel. When you turn on the Priority Scan option (see “Priority Scanning”), the scanner automatically checks these channels every 2 seconds to see if there is activity. If there is, the scanner immediately switches to the priority channel.

Notes: • The scanner does not check priority channels in locked-out banks.

•The scanner does not check priority channels if the channel is locked out.

By default, the first channel of each bank is set as priority. To change the priority channel:

1.Manually select the channel you want to set as priority.

2.Press and hold PRI for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps and the new priority assignment is made.

Note: To program priority talkgroup ID’s for trunk scanning, see “Setting Priority Talkgroups.”
