Dual Watch Operation - Vertex Standard VXA-150 Operating Manual

The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for
activity on a "priority" channel
ating on another channel. During Dual Watch opera-
tion, the current channel and the Priority channel will
each be polled for a 500 ms interval, as the VXA-
150 looks for activity on each channel.
r To start Dual Watch, press [ F ] à [ SCAN ( DW )] .
The "DW" icon will appear on the display.
r While receiving on the "current" channel (not
the Priority channel), you may push the PTT
switch at any time to transmit on that channel.
r When a signal is received on the Priority chan-
nel, operation immediately shifts to the Priority
channel, the "DW" icon will blink, and the dis-
play and keypad will become illuminated.
