Switching Between Two Frequencies; Using The Priority Channel To Switch Between Two Channels; Using Two Adjacent Channels - AOR AR1000 Manual

Toggling Frequencies

Switching between two frequencies

There may be times when you want to switch between two frequencies. Of
course, you can set up the two frequencies as scan channels and then lock the
other 98 channels in the bank, but this would be a lot of work. You can also use
the radio button techniques described above. Below are two other methods for
switching between two channels.

Using the Priority channel to switch between two channels

Put one of the frequencies in any scan channel and put the second one in a
channel you program as the Priority channel. In Manual mode, go to the first
channel and then press the AUX button. You will listen to the first channel
unless there is activity on the Priority channel, in which case the scanner will
automatically switch. When the transmissions are done, you will be switched
back to the first channel. See page 72 for details on setting up the Priority
channel.
Use two adjacent scan channels
If you put the channels you are interested in within adjacent scan channels you
can switch easily between them by pressing SCAN and then using the Tuning
knob to move to one of the channels. Then to switch, just turn the Tuning knob
one click in either direction. Of course this will work for any number of adjacent
channels, but it is easiest with only two channels.
If the bank is locked, this will still work, but the only channels you will be able to
access will be the first and last channels in each bank. If bank 4 is locked and you
try this, the Tuning knob will toggle you between channel 400 and 499.
