Normal Mode With Weather Alert Watch; Normal Mode With Triple Watch Or Dual Watch - West Marine VHF255 Owner's Manual

Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch

If you activate
Weather Alert
Watch while
operating in
normal mode, the radio checks the
most recently used weather channel
every seven seconds. If it detects a
weather or other hazard alert, it will
switch to that weather channel. (If
you are actively transmitting, the
radio waits until you finish your
transmission before checking the weather channel.)

Normal mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch

If you activate Triple Watch while operating in normal
mode, the radio checks channels 16 and 9 every two
seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the radio only
checks channel 16. The radio will not check channels 16
or 9 while you are actively transmitting; it waits until your
transmission is finished and then checks the channels.
Every 2 seconds, the radio
checks channels 9 & 16.
