Watch
The SAILOR 6248 VHF radio has
a watch function with dual or
triple watch. In dual watch, the
working channel and channel 16
are watched. In triple watch
(available for channel tables US
and CA) the working channel,
channel 16 and the programmed
call channel are watched. You
can select the working channel
in any watch mode by turning
the selector knob. If there is a signal in one of the watched channels, the
display shows the channel in which the signal is received. For instructions
how to setup TRIPLE WATCH see Radio setup on page 19.
To start the watch function press the key DW.
The radio enters the
watch mode and the text WATCH with the channel numbers watched
is shown below the current channel number.
To stop the watch function press the key DW again or PTT on the speaking
device.
Scan
The radio has a scanning function for tagged voice channels. Any available
voice channel, including weather and private channels, can be tagged and
added to the scanning sequence. As default the radio scans with priority
scanning of channel 16. If a signal is received while in any scanning mode,
only channel 16 continues to be watched.
If there is a signal in one of the scanned channels, the display shows the
channel in which the signal is received. If PTT is pressed while scanning, the
scanning stops, the radio is tuned into the displayed channel and transmission
starts immediately on the displayed working channel.
