The Priority function allows automatic checking for activity on a particular memory every' five seconds
ttltile operating on the VFO or a different tnemory. When the receiver detects a signal on the designated
“Priority" memory operation automatically shifts to that memory nhilc the signal is present (plus a few
seconds). ifyrou transmit while “paused" on the priority channeL priority monitoring will cease. and the
transceiver will "hold" indefinitely on the priority channel.
We recommend that Memgry Channel t is reserved by you as the ”Priority" channel. as t.he transceiver
nill only check Memory Channel I as the priority channel if you are operating in the memory mode.
However. if you are operating in the VFO mode. priority operation will define the lust—used memory
t‘ltumw/ as the priority channel,
To set up for priority monitoring:
Preset the SQL control to silence the background noise on at clear channel. then store the
frequency to be the "Priority" channel into u memory location (this must be Mental-y- Channel I if you
utll be operating on other manna-rm during priority tnonitorin ).
Press the [DIMR] key to operate in the VFO mode II'yon are in the memory mode. select the
memory on “hich you \\iSii to operate (other than the priority channel).
Press the {MN} key momentarily to stan the priority monitoring
In the priority monitoring the displayed frequency \\ill shut to the priority memory briefly about every
five seconds. “hile the recciyer checks for the presence ofa s vnul
When no signal appears on the priority memory (causing the squelch to open). you can tune transmit
and receiye on the VH). or select and operate on other memories; ltoucyer. you cannot scan (except
manually. Using the micropltone's [UP] and IDWN| buttons). as the scanning logic circuits are already
dedicated to the priority scanning activities.
It" a station you t\ish to talk tyilh appears on the priority memory. press the PTT snitch momentarily
while reeeiyi g their signal (no transmission nill occur) to null priority scanning. Otherwise. “hen a
signal appears on the priority channel. priority monitoring “iii pause and the decimal on the display will
blink. Priority monitoring “1” resume hasetl on tltc setting of the regular scanning-resume mode — either
after a 5-second pause. or after the carrier drops out.
To cancel the priority monitoring. press the [DIMR] key momentarily.
A few other rules govern priority operation:
You may use any available tnetnory as a priority channel in the above procedure when you are
operation in the VFO mode Vou may not, however. switeh from the memory mode to the VFO mode or
vice—versa. “ithout t‘trst canceling priority monttoring.
You can not scan operatton during priority operation.
The priority function is not disabled by switching the transceiver oil". Ifyou were engaged in priority
monitoring at the moment you tttrned the radio off. it will assume that you will want to continue priority
monitoring during your next operating session. and will come up still in the priority trrode when the
