SCANNING FEATURES
DUAL AND TRIPLE WATCH SCANNING
To scan selected channels, there are three options: Dual Watch, Dual Watch with NOAA Weather Alert, and Triple Watch.
In Dual Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16 and the current channel. In Dual Watch with Weather Alert scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the current channel, and monitors the current weather channel for a NOAA Weather Alert signal. Note: The VHF5 monitors the last selected weather channel in this mode. In Triple Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the Call Channel, and the current channel.
