Priority Scanning
Priority Scan works like a dual watch function. When you activate Priority Scan mode, the
scanner keeps track of the activity on the priority channel while listening to other channels. A
constant PRI appears on the display
Every two seconds, the scanner checks the priority channel for activity. If a signal is found, the
scanner remains on the priority channel until the transmission ends. If the signal stops for
more than two seconds, normal scan operation resumes.
Priority Scan mode does not operate when the scanner is in Weather
mode.
When you press 4, the display changes to 4, but the scanner still
monitors the previous channel.
