■General

What is priority watch?

Priority watch checks for signals on a priority frequency while listening to another frequency or, while searching one or more frequencies or memory channels.

When receiving a signal on the priority channel, priority watch pauses for 5 sec.

This function is useful when you want to monitor for a signal that appears infrequently. In this case, you can wait for the signal while listening to another signal on a different fre- quency.

Types of priority watch

There are two basic priority watches: VFO FREQUENCY WATCH and MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH. Also, the priority watch can be activated in conjunction with a scanning func- tion, thereby making a total of 8 priority watch operations.

The following diagrams illustrate the operation of each priority watch type.

VFO FREQUENCY WATCH

While listening to a VFO fre- quency, priority watch checks for signals on the priority fre- quency every 5 sec.
