Dual Watch Operation - Yaesu FTA-230 Operating Manual

The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for activ-
ity on a "priority" channel
another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the cur-
rent channel and the Priority channel will each be polled
for a 500 ms interval, as the FTA-230 looks for activity
on each channel.
 To start Dual Watch,
press the [ F ] key fol-
lowed by the [ 6 ( DW )]
key. The "DW" icon
will appear on the dis-
play.
 While receiving on the
"current" channel (not
the Priority channel), you
may push the PTT switch
at any time to transmit on
that channel.
 When a signal is received on the Priority channel,
operation immediately shifts to the Priority channel,
the "DW" icon will blink, and the display will be-
come illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is
turned off.
