You can now tune or scan as described previously, between the nearest multiples
of 100 kHz (xxx.000, xxx.100, xxx.200, etc.) below memory L and above memory
U.
To cancel PMS operation, stop scanning, if necessary (with the microphone keys
or D/MR), and press D/MR: once to return to regular memory operation, or twice
to return to Dial mode.
Priority Channel Monitoring
The Priority function allows automatic checking for activity on a memory every
five seconds while operating on the Dial or other memories. When a signal
appears on the priority memory while receiving, operation will automatically shift
to that memory, for as long as a carrier is received. If you transmit while paused
on the priority memory, priority monitoring is cancelled and operation stays on
the priority memory.
The squelch must first be preset, and the frequency to be monitored must be
stored in a memory (this MUST be memory 1 if you will be operating on other
memories during priority monitoring).
Press D/MR to operate on the Dial, or else select the memory you want to operate
on, and then press [F]+PRI. A 'P' will appear in the memory window at the upper
left corner of the display, and about every five seconds the displayed frequency
will shift to the priority memory briefly while the receiver checks for a signal.
As long as no signal appears on the priority memory to open the squelch, you can
tune, transmit and receive on the Dial, or select and operate on other memories. If
a station you wish to talk with appears on the priority memory, press the PTT
switch momentarily while receiving his signal, to stop priority checking.
Otherwise, when a signal appears on the priority memory the scanner will pause
and the decimal on the display will blink; then priority monitoring will resume
(according to how you set the scan resume mode - either after a 5-second pause,
or after the carrier drops).
To cancel priority monitoring manually, press D/MR.
