PRIORITY WATCH
■
Priority watch types
Priority watch checks for signals on a memory or call chan-
nel every 5 sec. while operating on a VFO frequency. The
transceiver has 3 priority watch types to suit your needs. You
can transmit on the VFO frequency while the priority watch
operates.
The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume
condition. See previous page for details.

Priority watch cannot be started from a scratch pad mem-
ory.
➧
If the DTMF memory encoder is activated, it is automati-
cally cancelled when priority watch starts.
➧
If the pocket beep function is activated, the transceiver
automatically selects the tone squelch function when pri-
ority watch starts.
➧
When “SCT-EP” is selected for the scan resume condi-
tion, the priority watch pauses on a no-signal channel.
