Beyond the Basics
programming priority channels
With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed
channels and still not miss an important or interesting
transmission on the priority channel. When priority is turned
on, the scanner checks the priority channel every two
seconds, and stays on the priority channel if there is activity
until the activity on that channel stops.
The priority feature does not work when the scanner
receives a trunking voice channel or during trunking
delay time. Traffi c on the priority channel may be missed
if it occurs while the scanner is monitoring a trunking
voice call.
If you program a weather channel as the priority channel,
and you activate priority mode, the scanner stops on the
weather (priority) channel only when the scanner detects
the 1050 Hz weather alert tone.
