Examples of Mode Applications
While there are many scenarios for making a mode choice or setting the MHS550 in a certain manner that applies to your own special requirements, we hope the following three examples might help you get started.
1.You’re a safety boat at the scene of a yacht race. You have to monitor the Intership safety channel, 06, yet you want to monitor Channel 16 for emergency traffic.
Select DualWatch, with Channel 06 as the normal working channel.
.You’re fishing, and there are four channels being used by local anglers: Channels 68, 69, 71, and 09. Put all four channels into memory, and use Normal Scanning to listen to them in succession.
3.You’re cruising with your family on Lake Erie, and you are concerned about a summer thunderstorm in your area.
