Priority Scanning Talk Group IDs

You can assign a priority to a favorite ID so during scanning the scanner
checks that ID more frequently than the others in the list. Each of the ten
memory locations reserved for storing lists can have only one priority ID, and
the ID assigned that priority in List 1 has the highest priority of all.
To assign a priority to an ID, press and hold PRI for 2 seconds in ID
Programming Mode. "P" appears.
To turn priority ID scanning on or off, press PRI during ID while scanning in
Close Mode. "PRI" appears when priority scanning is turned on.
Note: Priority ID scanning does not operate when priority IDs are
locked out. See "Locking Out Talk Group IDs" on p. 45.
