You cannot remove the skip from an empty channel.

PRIORITY

You can scan through channels and still not miss an important or interesting call on a specific channel. Channel 00 (the first channel in Bank 0) is preset as the priority channel.

When the priority feature is turned on, the scanner checks Chan- nel 00 every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activ- ity. If there is no activity, P flashes on the display every 2 seconds.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRI. PRI appears on the dis- play. To turn off the priority feature, press PRI again. PRI disap- pears from the display.

Notes:

Channel 00 is preset as the priority channel. You cannot change it.

The scanner automatically skips the priority channel when there is no transmission on the channel. If there is a trans- mission on the channel, you must turn off the priority feature to skip the priority channel.
