PRIORITY AND WEATHER ALERT WATCH
In addition to the three operation modes, your radio provides two watch functions that set
the radio to quickly and regularly check for activity on specific channels.
Priority Watch – Checks 1-2 designate Priority channels for activity every two seconds.
Weather Alert Watch – Checks the weather channel for alerts every seven seconds.
Priority Watch
Your radio comes with a preprogrammed Priority channel. Your radio will function
normally, and will also check the Priority channel(s) every two seconds. If the radio detects
a transmission, it will stay on that channel; when the signal stops, the radio resumes
scanning. To activate Priority Watch, press the
TRI

Note: Private ships must monitor channel 16 whenever they are underway. Water-going ships
should have a Priority Watch on at all times.
