Priority Scanning

Your BC244CLT has a default Priority Channel, Channel 1, but may be assigned to
another channel. Priority Scan works like a dualwatch function. When you activate
Priority Scan mode, the scanner starts sampling, or keeping track of the activity on
the priority channel while listening to other channels. A constant PRI appears on
the LCD display
Priority Scan mode does not operate when the scanner is in Weather Alert mode.
Every 2 seconds, the scanner checks the priority channel for activity. If a signal is
present, the priority channel is monitored until the transmission ends. When the
reception of the priority signal stops for more than 2 seconds, normal scan
operation resumes.
To Set the Priority Channel
1. Determine the frequency most important to you and program into desired
channnel location.
2. Press MANUAL key to exit the Scan Mode.
3. Press PRIORITY key to set the scanner in
Priority Scan mode. PRI appears on the display.
4. Enter the desired channnel you'd like to make the
Priority Channel using the numeric keys or the
/ keys.
