the time to a specific channel, yet also check for traffic on selected other channels. To accomplish this, your MHS550 has several scanning modes which can be used based on your needs.
DualWatch — allows you to monitor a primary channel, for example Channel 68, yet check for traffic on Channel 16 ev- ery two seconds.
TripleWatch — lets you monitor a primary channel, for ex- ample Channel 68, yet check for traffic on Channels 16 and 9 every two seconds.
Weather Alert (WX/ALERT) — lets you monitor one or more channels, yet check for weather alerts on a selected weath- er channel every 7 seconds. First select the Weather Mode (WX/ALERT) and choose the clearest weather channel using
▲or ▼ before using Weather Alert.
Normal Scanning — lets you monitor two or more channels in rapid succession. When the radio detects traffic on any of the channels in memory, it pauses scanning until the traffic stops, then continues scanning after an additional two seconds.
DualWatch Scanning — lets you monitor two or more channels in succession, but also monitors Channel 16 every two seconds.
TripleWatch Scanning — as above, but also monitors Channel 9.
Notes:
•Most of these scanning modes require that two or more channels are first entered into memory. This is done by selecting the desired channel using ▲ or ▼, then pressing and holding SCAN/MEM for two seconds. CHANNEL STORED appears in the display. Press and hold SCAN/ MEM a second time to remove the channel from memory.
These various scanning modes can be turned on and off using three keys — 16/9/TRI, WX/ALERT, and SCAN/MEM.
