Set Up Priority Channel; Priority Channel - Yaesu DR-2X Operating Manual

4. Set up Priority Channel

Priority Channel

In the dual receive function, one channel may be set as the priority channel.
Normal operation mode:
• When CH-A and CH-B are set to different uplink frequencies, a signal on either uplink frequency will inhibit
reception on the other channel until the first channel communication is complete.
Priority mode:
• When receiving a signal on the channel set as Priority, even if communication is in progress on the normally
used frequency, that communication will be stopped and the emergency (Priority) communication will be
automatically transmitted.
To set the priority channel, touch [ RX ] / [ TX ] area of the prioritized channel in the operation setup screen, "PRI"
appears and this channel is set to the Priority channel.
To deactivate the Priority channel, touch the same area to unset PRI and return to normal operation.
The uplinks may be received simultaneously, but since the DR-2X/DR-2XE has only one transmitter, even if the downlink
frequency is set separately; the signals may not be transmitted simultaneously.
In the FIX (Digital C4FM) mode, when CH-A or CH-B is set to Priority, a received C4FM digital signal
including the registered DG-ID will have precedence over signals received on the other channel.
In the AUTO mode, this channel will have precedence when receiving a C4FM digital signal including the
registered DG-ID or when receiving an FM signal including the registered CTCSS.
Transmissions are not interrupted, even if other signals are received on the priority channel.
