Dual Watch
The Dual Watch feature allows you to monitor two frequencies, with the radio rapidly
switching between the two channels, looking for activity. As with scanning operation, the
VR-120D
will halt when one of the channels becomes occupied by a signal strong enough
to open the Squelch.
The Dual Watch system includes the option to use a bank of special memories which can
store up to ten pairs of Dual Watch frequencies. These memories are pre-programmed at
the factory, but can quickly be programmed by you for monitoring of your favorite fre-
quencies on a priority basis.
To activate Dual Watch:
1.
Press the [
SCAN
] key, while pressing the [
FUNC
] key, to activate the "Set" (Menu)
mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Menu #18 [DW/PW].
3.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, rotate
the
DIAL
knob to select "DW" as the Priority Monitoring
mode.
4.
Press the [
SCAN
] key, while pressing the [
FUNC
] key, to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
5.
Press and hold in the [
V/M
] key for 2 seconds. The radio will
begin Dual Watch operation.
6.
Once you have initiated Dual Watch operation, press and hold
in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, rotate the
DIAL
knob
to the Dual Watch Memory as shown below. Dual Watch will cause the radio to switch
back and forth (rapidly) between the Pre-Programmable Frequency pair selected (for
example, if you rotate the
DIAL
knob to [A06], Dual Watch will switch every 0.5
second between 121.500 MHz and 146.940 MHz).
*: You can Customize the Pre-programmed Frequency Pair.
