General Information | RS20S User Guide
Long press to turn radio on or off.
6. Weather Channel
Short press (US/CAN models): press to hear the most recently
selected NOAA/Canadian weather station.
For all other models, changes channel to user programmed choice.
Long press (non US/CAN models): to store current channel as the
weather channel.
7. SCAN
Short press to enter ALL SCAN mode.
ALL SCAN sequentially scans all channels for activity.
When a signal is received, scanning stops at that channel and the
BUSY icon appears on the screen. If the signal ceases for more than 5
seconds, the scan automatically resumes.
Turn the channel knob to temporarily skip over (lock out) a busy
channel and resume the scan. The direction turned determines if
the scan goes up or down the channel numbers (ie ‘forward’ or
‘reverse’). If it is still busy when the scan completes a full cycle, it will
stop again at this channel. Note that it is not possible to skip over
the priority channel.
Press ENT to permanently skip over the channel. The SKIP icon will
show on the LCD for this channel.
To cancel a skipped channel, select the channel while in normal
mode (non-scan mode) then press the ENT key - the SKIP icon will
disappear. Repowering the radio also restores all skipped channels.
Press SCAN or EXIT while scanning is active to stop at the current
channel and return to normal operation.
Long press SCAN from normal operation to enter the SCAN menu.
8. TRI (WATCH)
Short press to start DUAL WATCH or TRI WATCH (if ‘watch’ channel
set)
Long press to set the current channel as the watch channel.
When a short press is made on the TRI key, the radio will either
switch to DUAL or TRI watch mode depending on whether a watch
channel has been setup.
Without a watch channel the radio will go to DUAL WATCH, where
the channels ‘watched’ are the current channel and the priority
channel (the distress channel, CH16 for most countries).
With a watch channel selected, TRI WATCH is enabled, where the
channels ‘watched’ are the current channel the ‘watch’ channel, and
the priority channel (the distress channel, CH16 for most countries).
If the radio is set to ‘Country: USA’, two priority channels are watched
- Channel 9 and Channel 16.
