Normal mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in Normal mode, the radio checks channels 9 or 16 every two seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the radio only checks channel 16. The radio will not check channels 9 or 16 while you are actively transmitting; it waits until your transmission is finished and then checks the channels.

You can save channels into memory and then use Scan mode to monitor those channels from lowest to highest. If the radio detects a signal on a channel, it stays on that channel as long as the signal is received; when the signal stops, the radio continues scanning.
When it detects a signal, the radio stays on the channel until you press the
Channel Up button or the signal stops.Resume scan
