■ Priority watch types
While operating on a VFO frequency or scanning, the priority
watch checks for signals on the set priority frequency every
5 seconds. The transceiver has four priority watch types to
suit your needs.
The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume
setting. See page 47 for details.
NOTE: If the pocket beep function is activated, the trans-
ceiver automatically selects the tone squelch/DTCS
squelch function when priority watch starts.
