Priority Monitoring - Yaesu VR-120D Operating Manual

Priority Monitoring

The "Priority" feature, which is somewhat similar to Dual Watch, allows you to monitor a
VFO frequency while checking a "Priority Memory" channel every five seconds for activ-
ity. If the Priority Memory channel becomes active with a signal strong enough to open the
Squelch, the radio will halt on that frequency and will hold there in accordance with the
setting of the "RESUME" mode, described previously.
To set up Priority Monitoring:
1. Press the [SCAN] key, while pressing the [FUNC] key, to activate the "Set" (Menu)
mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #18 [DW/PW].
3. Press and hold in the [FUNC] key; while holding it in, rotate
the DIAL knob to select "PW" as the Priority Monitoring
mode.
4. Press the [SCAN] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to save the new setting and exit
to normal operation.
5. Select the frequency you wish to be the "Priority" frequency, using the main DIAL.
6. Press and hold in the [V/M] key for 2 seconds, while holding in the [FUNC] key, to
store the frequency into the Priority Memory Channel.
7. Select the desired "main monitoring" frequency on the VFO.
8. Press and hold in the [V/M] key for 2 seconds to activate
Priority Channel monitoring. "P" and "DW" will appear in
the display and "Priority" will be activated. If activity ap-
pears on the Priority Memory, the radio will hold on that fre-
quency per the programming of the "RESUME" mode.
9. Press the [V/M] key to cancel Priority Monitoring operation.
