SCANNING FEATURES

DUAL AND TRIPLE WATCH SCANNING

To scan selected channels, there are three options:
Dual Watch, Dual Watch with NOAA Weather Alert,
and Triple Watch.
In Dual Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel
16 and the current channel. In Dual Watch with Weather
Alert scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the
current channel, and monitors the current weather channel
for a NOAA Weather Alert signal. Note: The VHF5 monitors
the last selected weather channel in this mode. In Triple
Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the
Call Channel, and the current channel.
