VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL 63
“PRIORITY CHANNEL” SCANNING
(
DUAL WATCH
)
The VX-8GR/GEs scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which
allows you to operate on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user
defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Memory Channel
which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in
accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Menu Item 77: SCAN RESUME. See
page 54.
Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation:
1. Press the c key briefly to enter the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode, if you are not
using memories already.
2. Press and hold in the f key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the
memory channel you wish to be the “Priority” channel.
3. Press the B key. The “P” icon will appear to the right of
the “MR” label, indicating it is the Priority channel.
4. Now set the VX-8GR/GE for operation on another memory
channel, or on a VFO frequency.
5. Press and hold in the c key for one second. The display
will remain on the VFO or memory channel selected. How-
ever, every five seconds the VX-8GR/GE will check the
Priority Channel for activity. The “MR” label will be re-
placed by “MDW” while operating on the Memory channel or the “VFO” label will be
replaced by “VDW” while operating on the VFO mode.
6. If a station appears on the Priority Channel, the radio will pause on that channel, as
described previously.
The receiving time interval (ratio) between the current channel (or VFO frequency) and
Priority channel may be customized via Set Mode Item 67: PRI TIME.
To set the receiving time interval:
1. Press and hold the m key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 67: PRI TIME.
3. Press the m key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set
Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired time interval.
Available selections are 0.1sec - 0.9sec (0.1sec/step) and
1.0sec - 10.0sec (0.5sec/step).
5. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
The default condition for this Set Mode Item is “5.0sec”.
