Priority Monitoring - Yaesu VR-500 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:
•
Select the frequency you wish to be the "Priority" frequency, using the keypad or main
DIAL.
‚
Press and hold in the [6(PW)] key for 2 seconds, while pressing the [FUNC] key, to
store the frequency into the Priority Memory Channel.
ƒ
Select the desired "main monitoring" frequency on the VFO.
„
Press the [6(PW)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to
activate Priority Channel monitoring. The display will
show both the VFO frequency and the Priority Memory
Channel frequency, with a small arrow indicating the fre-
quency being monitored. Every five seconds, you will
notice the arrow jumping to the Priority Memory fre-
quency. If activity appears on the Priority Memory, the radio will hold on that fre-
quency per the programming of the "RESUME" mode.
...
Press the [CLR(P.SET)] key to cancel Priority Monitoring operation.
