How It Works - Uniden MHS127 Owner's Manual

How it Works?

Your radio has three main operation modes: Normal, Scan and Weather.
Mode What it does
Normal Monitors a single
marine channel and
lets you talk on that
channel.
Scan Monitors all the
channels you save
into memory.
Weather Monitors the
selected weather
channel
In addition to the three operation modes, your radio provides two different
watch modes which you can activate during any operation mode. In the watch
modes, the radio briefly checks for activity on a specific channel, then returns
to its previous operation.
