In normal scanning, the VHF5 rapidly scans through channels, either in the USA or International band. The VHF5 stops scanning on busy channels and remains stopped several seconds after the signal disappears allowing time to answer the call if necessary. In priority scanning, the scanning operation is the same as normal scanning except Channel 16 is constantly checked for activity, allowing for much quicker response to Channel 16 traffic. To scan channels, press and hold the SCAN/DUAL button for a few seconds. The VHF5 begins scanning channels using the scan method programmed in the radio. Rotate the CHL/SQL knob to choose n-sc for normal scan, or p-sc for priority scan. Deleting Channels from Scan To delete a channel from scan, select the channel to be deleted. To activate a deleted channel, select the channel to be activated then press the FUNC and SCAN/DUAL buttons at the same time. 9 SCANNING FEATURES DUAL AND TRIPLE WATCH SCANNING To scan selected channels, there are three options: Dual Watch, Dual Watch with NOAA Weather Alert, and Triple Watch. In Dual Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16 and the current channel. In Dual Watch with Weather Alert scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the current channel, and monitors the current weather channel for a NOAA Weather Alert signal. Note: The VHF5 monitors the last selected weather channel in this mode. In Triple Watch scanning, the VHF5 toggles between Channel 16, the Call Channel, and the current channel. Rotate the CHL/SQL knob until 02du (for Dual Watch), 03du (for Dual Watch with Weather Alert), or 03tr (for Triple Watch) appears on the LCD.
