11-6 PRIORITY FUNCTION
The priority function enables you to carry on scanning, searching or monitoring while the AR6000 checks
a selected frequency for activity (taken from one of the 2,000 memory channels periodically).
The priority checking is accomplished by momentarily tuning the receive circuit to the priority frequency to
see if it is active . If the activity is found, the AR6000 will remain on the active frequency until the signal
disappears. If no activity is detected, the receiver returns to the VFO frequency, scan channel or search
bank from where it originated.
The priority function has a large number of applications and is particularly useful for keeping an eye on
a distress frequency while scanning or searching another frequency band.
Note : Depending upon the frequency and mode stored as priority, an audible click may be heard when the
priority function is in operation. This is quite normal and is caused by the internal switching of circuitry
necessary to accomplish the frequency change.
11-6-1 CONFIGURING PRIORITY CHANNEL
Once activated, the frequency is periodically checked for activity based on the preset period set by
the configuration menu.
To configure the priority function, perform the following steps:
(Example): Select memory bank 1, memory channel 30, priority sampling interval 10 seconds
1. Press the [ FUNC ] key, and then press the [ PRIO ] key.
