Dual Watch; High/Low Power; Talk Around - Vertex Standard VX-530 Series Operating Manual

Dual Watch

The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only
two channels are monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The "Priority" channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to the as-
signed position.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it
finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to a different
position.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set.

High/Low Power

Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned
position to set the radio's transmitter to the "Low Power" mode, thus ex-
tending battery life. Press the assigned Soft key again or switch the Toggle
switch to the other Position to return to "High Power" operation when in
difficult terrain.

Talk Around

Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle switch to the assigned
position to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on
duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utiliz-
ing a "repeater" station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the
repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has
no effect when you are operating on "simplex" channels, where the receive
and transmit frequencies are already the same.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for "Talk Around" chan-
nels by programming "repeater" and "Talk Around" frequencies on two
adjacent channels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-
Programmed Functions.
