scan channel, changes to the priority channel, and holds for the duration
of the transmission.
To reply to a message on the priority channel, turn the Channel Selector
knob to the priority channel, and then transmit. Once activity has ceased
on the priority channel, the radio returns to scan operation.
Priority Mode C
With Priority Scan on and Channel Scan off, the radio samples the

performance occurs when the priority channel is not on the Scan List.
