There may be multiple master monitors, monitoring any or all of the channels simultaneously.
Different master monitors and monitor groups are differentiated by the color-coded number icon
on the channel in the lower corners of the icons. If multiple masters are monitoring a single
channel, the icon will be a '+' sign rather than a number. Use the Status button to quickly
determine which master monitor channels are monitoring the channel. Click Status and then the
channel icon; the status information provided will list the numbers of the channels that are
monitoring the selected channel.
Note: A master monitor channel cannot monitor another master monitor channel.
To retain a monitor group, but stop monitoring one or more of the channels that are currently
being monitored, click the 'Remove' button (from the Monitors button area). Then, click any
channel to stop monitoring it.
To terminate the entire monitor group, following a click on the Remove button (it will be yellow),
click on a master monitor channel icon – in this case the handset channel.
9.1.6 Priority Connections
Priority Connections are used to make connections (normally temporary) between individual
modules that are (usually, but there is no restriction) not in the same net. For example,
commander A of the red team wants to have a quick talk with commander B of the blue team.
They do not want anyone in their original nets to be part of this planning session, but they do
want to return to the original nets as soon as their conversation is over.
Priority Connections are indicated by a circle with a white outline; if multiple Priority
Connections are in place, they can be easily differentiated by their color and number.
