The transceiver has 2 scan types: Normal scan and Priority scan. Normal scan
searches all TAG channels in the selected channel group. Priority scan searches
all TAG channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16.
Scan resume timer
The scan resume timer can be selected as a pause (OFF) or timer scan (ON).
When OFF is selected, the scan pauses until the signal disappears. When ON is
selected, the scan pauses 5 sec. and resumes even if a signal has been received
on any other channel than Channel 16.
Weather alert
A NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone before important
weather information. When the weather alert function is turned ON, the trans-
ceiver detects the alert, then the "WX ALT" indicator blinks until the transceiver is
operated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked any time
while scanning.
"WX ALT" appears instead of "WX" indication when the function is set
ON.
Dual / Tri-watch
This item can be selected as Dualwatch or Tri-watch.
DSC watch
DSC watch monitors Channel 70 while you are receiving another channel.
If a distress signal is received on Channel 70, the transceiver monitors Channel
16 and 70 alternately until the distress signal disappears. If a signal is received
on another channel, DSC watch pauses until the signal disappears.
This function may not be available for some channel groups depending
on dealer setting.
"DSC WATCH" scrolls at the channel comment indicator.
