How It Works; Normal Mode Operation - Uniden Atlantis 155 Owner's Manual

HOW IT WORKS

Your radio has three main operation modes: normal, scan, and
weather.
Mode What it does
Monitors a single marine
Normal channel and lets you
talk on that channel.
Monitors all the
Scan channels you save into
memory.
Monitors the selected
Weather
NOAA weather channel.
In addition to the three operation modes, your radio provides
two different watch modes which you can activate during any
operation mode. In the watch modes, the radio briefly checks
for activity on a specific channel, then returns to its previous
operation.

are underway. Water-going vessels should have Triple Watch
on at all times.
