13, 67, 75, 76, and other low-power channels. Although you cannot change the transmit power
to high on Channel 75 or Channel 76, you can change the transmit power to high on Channel
13 or Channel 67 by holding down Hi/LO/SCRAMBLER while transmitting on those channels.

power if you use PUSH/SELECT to select another channel.

Using Scan

Note: If you hold down STEP/SCAN while the radio is set to WX mode or Coast Guard/
Distress/Hailing mode, it cancels that mode and starts memory channel scanning.
Using Triple Watch Scan
Triple Watch lets you easily scan emergency channels along with a channel you select. To use
Triple Watch scan, hold down STEP/SCAN for about 2 seconds. The radio scans Channel 16,
Channel 9, and the current memory channel.
Using Normal Scan
Normal scan lets you quickly scan and tune only those channels you select. To use normal
scan, set the radio to Triple Watch scan then hold down 16/9 TRI for about 2 seconds. The
radio scans any channels you saved to its memory and SCANNING appears.
Notes:
• If you use normal scan, the radio does not scan any emergency channels. Use Triple
Watch scan (see "Using Triple Watch Scan") to scan emergency channels.
• You must save at least one channel in the radio's memory to use normal scan. See "Saving
Channels in Memory" on Page 23 for more information.
