Note: Once you press or in one bank, all trunking banks will change to that mode.
Setting Priority in Trunking Mode
You can set priority in your trunking banks, just as you do in your conventional ones. After you’ve set up your Scan
List, press to activate it. The radio will default to setting the first “channel” in each of your Scan List as a priority. Since each trunking bank holds 10 Scan Lists of 10 memory channels each, channel 1, 11, 21, through 91 are all default priorities. You can adjust which talk group in
each List is the priority by pressing and holding . It’s very similar to conventional priority although there is no “interrupt” during the transmissions. Priorities are checked in between transmissions.
With Priority on, you can hold on an ID in your Scan List, such as Scan List 6, memory position 7, and the scanner will check all the priorities in all the active Scan Lists every few seconds and in between any transmissions on the ID on which you’re holding. The lowest numbered priority will be checked first. For example, the priority channel in List 1 will be checked before the priority in List 2, etc.
