VX-537 Operating Manual
Dual Watch
The
Dual Watch
feature is similar to the
Scan
feature, except that only
two channels are monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The “Priority” channel.
To activate
Dual Watch
:
Press the assigned
Soft
key, or set the
Toggle
switch to the as-
signed position.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time
it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
Press the assigned
Soft
key, or set the
Toggle
switch to a differ-
ent position.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the
CH
knob is set.
High/Low Power
Press the assigned
Soft
key or switch the
Toggle
Switch to the assigned
position to set the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus
extending battery life. Press the assigned
Soft
key again or switch the
Toggle
switch to the other Position to return to “High Power” operation
when in difficult terrain.
Talk Around
Press the assigned
Soft
key or switch the
Toggle
switch to the assigned
position to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on
duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, uti-
lizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to by-
pass the repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This
feature has no effect when you are operating on “simplex” channels,
where the receive and transmit frequencies are already the same.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for “Talk Around” chan-
nels by programming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two
adjacent channels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-
Programmed Functions.
