Priority Scan - Standard Horizon HX460S Owner's Manual

6. Adjust the SQUELCH CONTROL knob until background noise is elimi-
nated.
7. To start scanning, press the SCAN key. The scan proceeds from the
lowest to the highest programmed channel number and stops on chan-
nels when a transmission is received. Scanning will resume when the
squelch closes after the incoming signal disappears at the end of the
transmission.
8. To stop the scan, press the SCAN key.

4.8 PRIORITY SCAN

The priority scanning feature allows the radio to scan while also keeping
watch on a particularly important "priority channel." The following channels
can be set as the priority channel: 16, 09, and Preset Channels A through E
(Preset Channels are described in section 4.14).
1. To set the priority channel, hold down the 16/9 key and press the MEM
key. The channel will change from 16 to 09 to Preset A to Preset B to
Preset C to Preset D to Preset E with each press of the MEM key. The
displayed channel will be set as the priority channel.
2. For priority scanning, hold down the SCAN key during normal scanning.
Scanning will proceed between the memorized channels and the priority
channel. The priority channel will be scanned after each programmed
channel. A "P" is shown on the left side of the channel number during
priority scanning.
3. As an example of priority scanning, let us say that channels 06, 07, and
08 are memorized in the transceiver's scan memory. Priority scanning
will proceed in the following sequence:
[ CH06 ]
à
[ CH08 ]
4. Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed
channel, the transceiver will shift to a "dual watch" mode between this
channel and the priority channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the
designated channel is not compromised when the scanner has paused
on an active channel.
