Dualwatch operation
The Dualwatch operation monitors the active frequency at
certain intervals, even when receiving a signal on the standby
frequency. When a signal is received on the active frequency,
the transceiver switches to the active frequency and stays
on it until the signal disappears, irrespective of the standby
frequency status.
Push
q
[DUAL]
to enter Dualwatch operation.
• “DUAL” is displayed on the active frequency display.
• The active or standby frequency
s “RX” blinks when receiving a
signal, or the squelch opens.
Push
w
[DUAL]
again to exit Dualwatch operation.
• “DUAL” disappears.
Priority watch
The Priority watch operation monitors the active frequency
at certain intervals* even when receiving a signal on the
standby frequency. When a signal is received on the active
frequency and standby at the same time, the transceiver pref-
erentially receives the active frequency and stops receiving
the standby frequency.
*You can set the priority watch intervals in the Configuration menu.
Refer to page 22 for details.
ATTENTION!
During Dualwatch operation, the standby
frequency’s audio may be interrupted during the monitoring
interval, but this is not a malfunction.
