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 between the origi-
nal 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 de-
sired channel within the selected Group.
You may wish to have the Scanner pass through more
than one Group during the scanning process (normally,
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 as-
signed programmable key for one second to delete the
Current Memory channel from the Scanning. When
you delete a Group or channel, “ -SCAN Skip- ” will
appear 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;
“ -SCAN Stop- ” will appear on the LCD for one sec-
ond after pressing the assigned programmable key.
