Priority Scanning
Priority Scan is like a dual watch function. When you activate Priority Scan mode,
the scanner keeps track of the activity on the priority channel while scanning the
other channels. A constant
PPRRII
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.
To Set the Priority Channel
Your BC244CLT has a default Priority Channel, set at Channel 1. To change the
priority channel, determine the frequency most important to you and program it into
the desired channel location.
Example: To set Channel 5 as the priority channel.
1. Press
MANUAL
to exit the Scan Mode.
2. Select Channel 5 using the
s / t keys. Or, press
5
then
MANUAL
for direct channel
access.
Priority Scan mode does not operate when the scanner is in
Weather mode.
