West Marine VHF250 Radio Owner’s Manual

has several scanning modes which can be used based on 

your needs.

DualWatch

 — allows you to monitor a primary channel, for 

example Channel 68, yet check for traf

fi

 c on Channel 16 ev-

ery two seconds.

TripleWatch

 — lets you monitor a primary channel, for ex-

ample Channel 68, yet check for traf

fi

 c on Channels 16 and 

9 every two seconds.

Weather Alert (WX)

 — lets you monitor one or more chan-

nels, yet check for weather alerts on a selected weather 

channel every 7 seconds. First select the Weather Mode 

(

WX

) and choose the clearest weather channel using 

▲

 or 

▼

 before using Weather Alert.

Normal Scanning

 — lets you monitor two or more channels 

in rapid succession. When the radio detects traf

fi

 c on any 

of the channels in memory, it pauses scanning until the 

traf

fi

 c stops, then continues scanning after an additional two 

seconds.

DualWatch Scanning

 — lets you monitor two or more 

channels in succession, but also monitors Channel 16 every 

two seconds. 

TripleWatch Scanning

 — as above, but also monitors 

Channel 9.

Notes:

Most of these scanning modes require that two or more 

channels are 

fi

 rst entered into memory. This is done by 

selecting the desired channel using 

▲

 or 

▼

, then pressing 

and holding 

SCAN/MEM

 for two seconds. 

CHANNEL 

STORED

 appears in the display. Press and hold 

SCAN/

MEM

 a second time to remove the channel from memory.

These various scanning modes can be turned on and off 

using three keys — 

16/9/TRI

, 

WX/ALERT

, and 

SCAN/MEM

. 

The scanning modes can be used in conjunction with one 

another, or used separately.
