Dual Watch Operation - Yaesu FTA-310 Operating Manual

The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for activ-
ity on a "priority" channel
another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the cur-
rent channel and the Priority channel will each be polled
for a 500 ms interval, as the FTA-310 looks for activity
on each channel.
 To start Dual Watch,
press the [ F] key mo-
mentarily, then press
the [ SCAN ( DW )] .
The " " icon will
appear on the display.
 While receiving on the
"current" channel (not the
Priority channel), you may
push the PTT switch at any
time to transmit on that chan-
nel.
 When a signal is received on the Priority channel,
operation immediately shifts to the Priority channel,
the " " icon will blink, and the display will be-
come illuminated.
 While receiving on the priority channel, if you mo-
mentarily press the PTT switch, Dual Watch will
be disabled. You may then transmit on the Priority
Channel.
