VX-6R/E OPERATING MANUAL 53
“PRIORITY CHANNEL” SCANNING
(
DUAL WATCH
)
The VX-6R/E’s 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 Set Mode Item 49: RESUME. See page 46.
