To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the
“Follow-Me” feature, select a channel using the
CH
Selector knob. Now press the assigned programmable
key; pressing the assigned programmable key locks
the current channel as the User-assigned Priority
Channel. Now rotate the
CH
Selector knob to select
another channel (not the “Scanning Start” channel).
Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between
the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned
Priority Channel.
During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have
pressed the key), you can set up the “Dual Watch”
feature by rotating the
CH
Selector knob to another
channel. The radio will then scan back and forth be-
tween the original User-assigned Priority Channel and
the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before
pressing the key) will be retained in memory until
you change it.

Press the assigned programmable key to select a dif-
ferent group of channels. Once the desired Group is
reached, rotate the
CH
Selector knob to select the
desired channel within the selected Group.
You may wish to have the Scanner pass through more
than one Group during the scanning process (nor-
mally, scanning is performed within the current group
only). To include the current Group in the scanning
loop, press and hold in the assigned programmable
key for one second. To remove a Group from Group
Scan, press and hold in the assigned programmable
key again for one second.
Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are us-
ing the “User Scan” list. To edit the User Scan list,
press and hold the assigned programmable key for one
second to delete the current Memory Group from the
Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold the assigned
programmable key for one second to delete the Cur-
rent Memory channel from the Scanning. When you
delete a Group or channel, “
-SCAN Skip-
” will ap-
pear on the LCD for one second after pressing the
assigned programmable key. To restore a particular
channel to your scanning list, press and hold in the
assigned programmable key again for one second;
