Priority Dual Watch Operation - Vertex Standard Spirit VXA-700 Operating Manual

Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on previous
page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced version which
includes the following additional features:
¦ The receiving time interval (ratio) between the cur-
rent channel and the Priority channel may be custom-
ized via the Menu Item "PRI Time." See page 54 for
details.
¦ Irrespective of which channel is currently being re-
ceived, when the PTT button is pushed transmission
will always occur on the Priority channel.
Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu Item "DW/
PRI" must be set to the "PRI" mode (instead of "DW").
See page 54 for details.
