Priority Scan - Standard Horizon HX751 Owner's Manual

6.11 PRIORITY SCAN

The Priority Scanning feature allows the radio to Memory Scan while also
keeping watch on a particularly important "Priority Channel". The following
channels can be set as the Priority Channel: 16, 09, and Preset Channels
described previously.
1. To set the priority channel, hold down the [ 16/9 ] key and press the
[ H/L ( )] key. The channel will change from "16" to "9"
to Preset Channels "0" through "9" with each press of
the [ H/L ( )] key. When the [ 16/9 ] key is released the
displayed channel will be set as the Priority Channel (the
"P" icon will appear at the left side of the channel number).
2. For Priority Scanning, press the [ SCAN ( DW )] key to activate the Memory
Scanning, then hold down the [ SCAN ( DW )] key for three seconds. Scan-
ning will proceed between the memorized channels and the Priority Chan-
nel. The Priority Channel will be scanned after each programmed channel.
3. As an example of priority scanning, let us say that marine channels "06",
"07", and "08" are memorized in the transceiver's scan memory. Priority
scanning will proceed in the following sequence:
[ CH06 ]
[ CH08 ]
4. Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed
channel, the transceiver will shift to a "dual watch" mode between this
channel and the priority channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the
designated channel is not compromised when the scanner has paused on
an active channel.
5. Press and hold the [ SCAN ( DW )] key for three seconds to return to the
Memory Scan operation, if desired.
6. To stop the Priority Scanning, press the [ SCAN ( DW )] or [ CLR ( WX )] key.
