programming priority channels

With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and still not miss an important or interesting transmission on the priority channel. When priority is turned on, the scanner checks the priority channel every two seconds, and stays on the priority channel if there is activity until the activity on that channel stops.

Notes	The priority feature does not work when the scanner
	receives a trunking voice channel or during trunking
	delay time. Trafﬁc on the priority channel may be missed
	if it occurs while the scanner is monitoring a trunking
	voice call.
	If you program a weather channel as the priority channel,
	and you activate priority mode, the scanner stops on the
	weather (priority) channel only when the scanner detects
	the 1050 Hz weather alert tone.
