DUAL PRIORITY SCAN
Up to 2 of the 16 channels in each group can be
designated as priority channels. These two
channels, PR1 and PR2, are checked at a preset
rate (.25–2.0 seconds) for activity, even if you are
listening to a different transmission. Activity on
PR1 will preempt PR2. Activity on PR2 will
preempt any of the non-priority channels.
Your dealer can assign dual priority scan to one of
the top switches, to the FCN menu, always turned
on, or always turned off. Your dealer can also
assign priority channels for you. When you
operate your radio, you will be prompted for
priority channel assignments.

If a carrier is detected, you will hear the message
unless the proper Code Guard is missing. If a
carrier is present but the correct Code Guard is not
found, the radio will only monitor the priority
channel every 4 seconds.
If a frequency is found on both PR1 and PR2 but
the frequency has an improper Code Guard, the
radio will perform a priority test each 4 seconds.
Because the priority test alternates between PR1
and PR2, the “hole” in the audio occurs every 2
seconds, half the original time.
If PR1 is a fixed channel and the
PRI
key is not
locked out, you can move the channel selector to a
new channel and press the
PRI
key to choose a
new PR1 channel.
Dual priority scan is automatically disabled when
group scan is on.
