Beyond the Basics
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. |
