has been locked out {page 44}.
PRIORITY SCAN
You may sometimes want to check your favorite
frequency activities while monitoring other frequencies.
In this case, use the Priority Scan function. Priority Scan
checks the activities of the Priority Channel every
3 seconds. If the transceiver detects a signal on the
Priority Channel, it recalls the frequency to the VFO.
