Priority Scanning

Priority Scanning
Specify a priority frequency of your choice to the priority
channel. With Priority Scanning, the receiver checks the
priority channel every 5 seconds and switches to this
channel if there is reception. If reception is broken, the
receiver will return to previous status.
You can run Priority Scanning during any scanning or
tuning modes.

The priority channel is preset channel 30 on page 10. You
cannot use any other channel for this purpose.
