PRIORITY SCAN

This function checks the frequency registered to the priority
channel once every three seconds, and displays the priority
channel to perform communication at that frequency if
it is busy. When the frequency becomes no longer busy,
the transceiver will return to the previous frequency and
resume the priority scan if the state of no key being operated
continues for 3 seconds.
Note:
◆ A frequency must be registered in advance in the priority
channel [Pri].
