Dual watch
The feature allows the radio to monitor automatically both the Priority Channel and
a selected additional channel.
To use the Dual Watch function, first set the radio to the desired channel, then push
the key.
The display will alternately display selected
channel number and channel 16, at a rate
which is controlled by the Scan Dwell Time
(refer to the 'Setting Profiles' section for
information on this parameter).
Pressing the key again cancels the
Dual Watch and returns the radio to a listening
watch on the channel at which the Dual Watch
function is stopped.
The following points describe Dual Watch in more detail:
• The Additional Channel can be any available channel.
• Dual Watch starts by watching the Additional Channel for 850 milliseconds
(ms), then sampling the Priority Channel for 150ms, and returning to the
Additional Channel for 850ms. This sequence continues until activity is
detected on one of the channels.
• If activity is detected on the Priority Channel the scanning sequence will be
stopped for the duration of the activity and Priority Channel will be displayed in
large characters.
• If activity is detected on the Additional Channel, then the Additional Channel
will be monitored for 1.8 seconds and the Priority Channel will be monitored for
150ms.
• The Dual Watch function can be stopped at anytime by pressing the
key. The radio is then set to the channel at which the Dual Watch function is
stopped.
