Revert function

Dual Watch enables the radio to scan between the selected
channel and the priority channel (normally Ch16). To activate
Dual Watch Mode, select the channel and press D/W - the D/W
legend will be displayed on the LCD.
NOTE The channel cannot be changed and transmission is inhibited
while in Dual Watch mode. To restore normal operation, either
press D/W, 16 or rotate the channel select knob anticlockwise.
Inhibit Function
Since the Scan function locks onto channels where a signal is
detected, it will lock onto a channel with a lot of interference
noise, or transmitting a continuous carrier wave signal, pre-
venting the radio from continuing the scan. The Inhibit func-
tion allows channels to be removed from the Scan sweep.
Pressing F then D/W ( ) will inhibit the selected channel -
indicated by INH appearing on the bottom line of the display
(Fig 2.4). Pressing F then D/W ( ) if the channel is already in
inhibited will restore it to the Scan - indicated by ENA appear-
ing on the bottom line of the display.
