Priority Channel Scanning (Dual Watch)

The FTM-7250DR's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows
operating on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically checking a user-
defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station received on the Memory Channel is strong
enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accordance with the
Scan-Resume mode setting of Menu item "SCAN RSM 39" See page 19.
Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation:
1. Set the transceiver to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [ V/M ( MW )] key repeat-
edly, if necessary.
2. Press and hold the [ V/M ( MW )] key, then select the memory channel you wish to be the
"Priority" channel.
3. Press the [ MODE ( DG-ID )] key momentarily. The
"PRI CH?" will appear on the display.
4. Press the [ MODE ( DG-ID )] key momentarily.
5. Now set the FTM-7250DR for operation on anoth-
er memory channel, Home channel, or on a VFO
frequency.
6. Press the programmable key on the MH-48A6JA Microphone that is assigned "DW".
The display will remain on the VFO, the selected memory channel, or the Home chan-
nel, but every five seconds the FTM-7250DR will check the Priority Channel for activity.
Note: During Dual Watch operation, the decimal points of the frequency display blink.
7. To cancel Dual Watch operation, press the Programmable key on the MH-48A6JA
Microphone that is assigned "DW".

Priority Revert Mode

allow you to move to the Priority Channel instantly, without waiting for activity to appear
on the Priority Channel.
When this feature is enabled, and priority monitoring is engaged, just press the microphone
PTT switch. Operation will instantly revert to the Priority Channel.
1. Press and hold the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key, then rotate
the DIAL knob to select "DW RVRT 20".
2. Press the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key, and then rotate the
DIAL knob to set this Menu item to "ON".
3. Press and hold the [ MHz ( SETUP )] key to save the
new setting and exit to normal operation.
To disable Priority Revert operation, select "OFF" in step 2 above.
