9.9 MULTI WATCH (TO PRIORITY CHANNEL)
Multi watch is used to scan two or three channels for communications.
• In Dual Watch, a normal VHF channel and the priority channel are scanned alternately.
• In Triple Watch, a normal VHF channel, the priority channel, and the sub
channel are scanned alternately.
When a signal is received on the normal channel the radio briefly switches
between the normal channel and the priority channel to look for a transmission.
If the radio receives communications on the priority channel the radio stops
and listens to priority channel until communication ends and then starts dual
or triple watch scan again.
