Basic Operation
Saving Channels
You can save any channel other than the WX (weather) channels to the transceiver memory.
You can scan your saved channels separately from scanning all of the channels that radio
receives. There is no limit to the number of channels you can save.
To save a channel:
1. Select SCAN.
2. Turn the Channel knob to access different channels.
3. To save a channel, select SAV CH. A star on the top of the screen denotes a saved
channel.
To remove the saved status from a channel:
1. Select SCAN.
2. Turn the Channel knob to access different channels.
3. Select SAV CH.
Scanning Saved Channels
1. Select SCAN.
2. Select SAVED.
NOTE: This scan does not include Channel 16 unless you saved Channel 16 to memory.
However, you can select +16 to scan Channel 16 every other channel (for example: 21, 16,
32, 16). When this setting is active, the soft key displays -16. Select -16 to scan your saved
channels in their normal order (for example, 08, 10, 11, 14).
Monitoring Multiple Channels
IMPORTANT: The radio disables multiple-channel monitoring (Dual watch and Tri watch) if
you turn on ATIS. See page 13.
Select WATCH to monitor priority channels and the currently selected channel for
broadcasting activity. Channel 16 is the rst-priority channel on your radio. Channel 9 is the
default second-priority channel, but you can select another channel as your second-priority
channel. For more information on reprogramming the second-priority channel, see page 8.
Monitoring Two Channels (Dual Watch)
Dual watch allows you to cycle between monitoring the current channel you have selected
and Channel 16.
1. Select WATCH.
2. Select DUAL. “DUAL WATCH”, the currently selected channel, and Channel 16 are
displayed on the screen—for example, “DUAL WATCH CH: 75 + 16”.
3. To exit Dual watch, select EXIT.
