Setting Priority Channels

You can set one conventional channel in each bank as a
priority channel. When you turn on the Priority Scan option
(see "Priority Scanning"), the scanner automatically checks
these channels every 2 seconds to see if there is activity. If
there is, the scanner immediately switches to the priority
channel.
Notes: • The scanner does not check priority channels in
locked-out banks.
• The scanner does not check priority channels if the
channel is locked out.
By default, the first channel of each bank is set as priority. To
change the priority channel:
1. Manually select the channel you want to set as priority.
2. Press and hold PRI for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps and
the new priority assignment is made.
Note: To program priority talkgroup ID's for trunk scanning,
see "Setting Priority Talkgroups."
