6.11 PRIORITY SCAN

The Priority Scanning feature allows the radio to Memory Scan while also keeping watch on a particularly important “Priority Channel”. The following channels can be set as the Priority Channel: 16, 09, and Preset Channels described previously.

1. To set the priority channel, hold down the [16/9] key and press the [MEM] key. The channel will change from “16” to “9” to Preset Channels “0” through “9” with each press of the [MEM] key. When the [16/9] key is released the displayed channel will be set as the

Priority Channel (the “P” icon will appear at the left side of the channel number).

2.For Priority Scanning, press the [SCAN(DW)] key to activate the Memory Scanning, then hold down the [SCAN(DW)] key while activating the Memory Scan. Scanning will proceed between the memorized channels and the Priority Channel. The Priority Channel will be scanned after each pro- grammed channel.

3.As an example of priority scanning, let us say that marine channels “06”, “07”, and "08" are memorized in the transceiver's scan memory. Priority

scanning will proceed in the following sequence:

[CH06] Æ [Priority Channel] Æ [CH07] Æ [Priority Channel] Æ

[CH08] Æ [Priority Channel] Æ [CH06] Æ [Priority Channel] .....

4.Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed channel, the transceiver will shift to a “dual watch” mode between this channel and the priority channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the designated channel is not compromised when the scanner has paused on an active channel.

5.To stop the Priority Scanning, press the [SCAN(DW)] key.
