Priority Scanning
To Turn Priority Scanning On
press

PRI
while scanning. All objects with their priority mode set to '
On
' are given equal priority status. No
object has higher priority over any another.
Conventional
Priority Scanning
will give priority to conventional objects that have their
. The scanner will sample the
conventional objects for activity periodically while scanning and monitoring other objects. This sampling will cause a brief muting of received audio when it
occurs while another object is active. The more conventional objects that are set for priority, the longer this audio muting will be, since it takes a certain
amount of time to sample each priority conventional object for activity. It will not check for conventional objects when scanning search or Stalker/Sweeper
objects.
Talk Group
Priority Scanning
will give priority to IDs that have their
priority on are checked for activity before any
other IDs and during the delay time after non-priority ID calls
. On some trunked systems (e.g. Mot 3600 if the system is programmed for it, and LTR
for some talkgroups), it will look at low-speed data on the voice frequency checking for any priority Talk Group information.
It will not check for IDs when receiving any other talkgroup.
It will not check for IDs when scanning conventional, search, or Stalker/Sweeper objects.
Priority does work for Radio IDs associated with 'Private' IDs.
Priority does
not
work for Radio IDs associated with 'Group' IDs, the scanner will only check the 'Group' IDs.

The

Weather
Priority Scanning
will give priority to a weather channel that has its priority mode set to '
On
'. Weather Priority mode samples the specified
weather frequency periodically while scanning to see if the 'All Hazards 1050 Hz Warning Alert Tone' (WAT) is present. If the WAT is present, the scanner
will sound an alarm and tune to the specified weather frequency to monitor the nature of the alert.
The
WX Check Int
setting (in the '
Expert Settings
' menu) allows you to set the interval of time to check for a weather alarm signal on a channel while
scanning.
Using the Attenuator
The attenuator reduces the amount of signal at the receiver input (20 dB) and may help reduce interference from strong nearby transmitters. There are
two attenuation modes, Normal and Global. Normal attenuation uses the attenuation settings for each object or search. Global attenuation forces
attenuation for all objects, on or off

Using the Favorites List and Skywarn List
The Favorites List and Skywarn List are 2 list that can be scanned independently from the regular 20 lists. They scan the objects in their list only and no
other lists. The Skywarn list is really just another Favorites list. The Favorites List is scan list #21 and the Skywarn List #22 when selecting lists in the
menus. Objects in the Skywarn and Favorites lists can also be assigned to one or more of the other 20 lists.
The Favorites List is an easy way to scan one or just a few objects at a time without reprogramming anything as it is easy to add objects or clear the list.
To Add an object to the Favorites List
press
