Priority Dual Watch Operation - Vertex Standard VXA-150 Operating Manual

Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on pre-
vious page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced ver-
sion which includes the following additional features:
l The receiving time interval (ratio) between the
current channel and the Priority channel may be
customized via the Menu mode, item PRTM. See
page 33 for details.
l Irrespective of which channel is currently being
received, when the PTT switch is pushed trans-
mission will always occur on the Priority chan-
nel.
Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu item
DWMD must be set to the "Priority" mode (instead
of "Dual Watch"). See page 33 for details.
