EVX-261 OPERATING MANUAL 17
ADVANCED OPERATION
To stop Dual Watch:
Press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key to dis-
able the Dual Watch feature. The radio receives the
channel which was selected by the
CH
Selector knob.
FOLLOW ME SCAN
The Follow Me Scan feature checks a user-assigned pri-
ority channel in addition to the channels previously pre-
programmed into a radio’s scan list. For example, if only
Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are
designated for “Scanning”, the user may assign Channel 2
as the “user-assigned” priority channel via the Follow Me
Scan.
To activate Follow Me Scan, fi rst select the channel you
want to designate as the “user-assigned priority channel”
by positioning the
CH
Selector knob on the desired “pri-
ority” channel. Next, press, (or press and hold), the as-
signed
PF
key. Finally, rotate the
CH
Selector knob to the
desired “operating channel”.
The scanner will search the two channels (user-assigned
priority channel and operating channel) and pause when it
fi nds a transmission on either channel.
TA
(
TALK AROUND
)
S
CAN
Press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key to toggle
the TA Scan feature “On” and “Off”.
When operating on a duplex channel system (for example,
a repeater station), TA Scan allows the transceiver to
search both transmit and receive frequencies on your du-
plex system.
When a signal is encountered on the receive frequency,
the transceiver will pause until the signal disappears.
When a signal is encountered on the transmit frequency,
the transceiver will check for activity on the receive fre-
quency every few seconds (interval programmed by your
Vertex Standard dealer).
Note: The TA Scan feature does not activate on a Simplex
Channel.
SCAN SET
Scan Set enables the user to add or delete a current chan-
nel temporarily to a pre-programmed scan list.
TALK AROUND
Talk Around is most commonly utilized when operating
on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit
frequencies, common with use of a repeater station). The
Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater
station and talk directly to a nearby station or transceiver.
This feature has no effect when you are operating on
“simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit fre-
quencies are already the same.
