24 BK Radio
To reply to a message on the priority channel,
press the PTT switch. The radio transmits only
on the priority channel when Switch C
(priority) is up. Once activity has ceased on
the priority channel, the radio returns to scan
operation.
CHANGE THE PRIORITY 1 CHANNEL
The fixed Priority 1 channel can be
permanently set or can be changeable. If the
radio has a changeable priority channel, use
the following steps to make this change:
1. Slide Switches B (scan) and C (priority)
down.
2. Turn the Channel Selector knob to the
channel you want to enter as the new
Priority 1 channel.
3. Press the [PRI] key. A short beep sounds
and PR appears in the display, indicating
that the displayed channel is now the
Priority 1 channel.
NOTE: If the radio is programmed for Dual
Priority operation, only the Priority 1
channel can be changed with the
[PRI] key.
NOTE: A channel can be the priority
channel even if it is on the Scan
List. Due to multiple sampling of the
same channel, however, maximum
performance occurs when the
priority channels are not on the
Scan List.
