activity. If
there is activity on one of the Priority channels, the ALERT Light will flash and the

Priority channels have been pre-determined by the manufacturer as those Highway
Patrol
frequencies most commonly used for mobile extenders and for car-to-car and
aircraft-to-car
operations. Mobile extenders re-transmit every radio broadcast received on the
patrol car
radio to the officer’s walkie-talkie at low-power. Every time any officer or dispatcher
talks
(transmits), the signal is broadcast like a beacon at low-power whether or not the
officer is
out of the car.
You can select Priority Scanning mode by pressing PRI.
• Normal Priority Scan mode.
The scanner checks the Priority frequency every two seconds. “PRI” will be
displayed.
• Priority only mode.
To only monitor the priority frequencies, press and hold PRI to select Priority Only.
