12-2 Changing PRIORITY channel parameters

The default channel used for PRIORITY is "A00" and the frequency and data
copied from the channel is checked for activity every 5 seconds.
You may select a different memory channel from which the data will be copied
or may vary the sampling time for priority activity checking. This is accom-
plished by using the "SET PRI CH" menu accessed by pressing [FUNC] then
holding the [4] key for more than 1 second. The legend "SET PRI CH"
appears on the top line of the LCD to confirm selection.
To the left of the second line of the LCD, the legend
"INTERVAL" is displayed with the highlight cursor
flashing over a two digit number. This numeric value
in seconds determines how long the receiver will wait
between checking the priority frequency for activity
once the priority facility has been engaged.
The default is "05" (5 seconds) and the acceptable
range is 1 - 19 seconds. Either rotate the [DIAL] until
the desired value is displayed or key in a two digit
number via the keypad.
Next press the [DOWN] key to move to the third line of the LCD, to the right of
the legend "A00". This is the memory channel used to copy data to the
priority facility. Either rotate the [DIAL] until the desired value is displayed or
key in the memory channel location via the keypad. (The UP/DOWN keys are
used to move the highlight cursor between data fields).
The fourth line of the LCD initially displays the letter "P" followed by the current
priority frequency and text alternatively. When new memory channels are
reviewed, their frequency and text details are displayed on line four to aid
identification.
Once you are happy with the new selection of priority frequency (frequency
and mode taken from the chosen memory channel) press [ENT] to accept the
changes.
The display will return to SCAN, SEARCH, MEMORY RECALL or VFO mode
from wherever it originated.
Note: If you should attempt to select a blank memory channel, a low pitch
"beep" will sound when you press [ENT] (if the "beep" is On) and the display
"- - -" will indicate that the channel is blank. When selecting suitable channels
using the [DIAL], blank channels will automatically be skipped.
Of course should you have the password facility activated, you will need to key
in your password before the protected channels and banks may be selected.
