dual Watch operatIon
The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for activ-
ity on a “priority” channel
while you are operating on
another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the cur-
rent channel and the Priority channel will each be polled
for a 500 ms interval, as the
FTA-230
looks for activity
on each channel.
To start Dual Watch,
press the
[
F
]
key fol-
lowed by the
[
6
(
DW
)]
key. The “
DW
” icon
will appear on the dis-
play.
While receiving on the
“current” channel (not
the Priority channel), you
may push the
PTT
switch
at any time to transmit on
that channel.
When a signal is received on the Priority channel,
operation immediately shifts to the Priority channel,
the “
DW
” icon will blink, and the display will be-
come illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is
turned off.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you mo-
mentarily press the
PTT
switch, Dual Watch will
be disabled. You may then transmit on the Priority
Channel.
To stop Dual Watch, press
[
F
]
key followed by the
[
6
(
DW
)]
key.
: The “priority” Channel is defined as the last-used
Memory Channel (when using the VFO mode)
or Memory Channel “001” (when using the Main
Memory or Book Memory modes).
