AR-ONE checks a selected frequency for activity (taken from one of the 1,000 memory
channels periodically).
The priority checking is accomplished by momentarily tuning the receive circuit to the priority
frequency to see if it is active. If activity is found, the AR-ONE will remain on the active
frequency until the signal disappears. If no activity is detected, the receiver returns to the
VFO frequency, scan channel or search bank from where it originated.
The priority function has a large number of applications and is particularly useful for keeping
an eye on a distress frequency while scanning or searching another frequency band.
Note: Depending upon the frequency and mode stored as priority, an audible click may be
heard when the priority function is in operation. This is quite normal and is caused by the
internal switching of circuitry necessary to accomplish the frequency change (as two
frequencies cannot simultaneously be monitored).
6-15-1 Engaging Priority channel
Once engaged, the frequency is checked for activity periodically by the preset period that is
set by the configuration menu.
To engage the priority function, push the FUNC key and then push the 4 key.
Push the down arrow key to move the cursor to the “PRIO-CH” selection point.
This menu is to configure the priority channel.
Use the main tuning dial, the right arrow key or the left arrow key to select the desired
priority channel. Push the downward key to select the time interval. Use the main tuning
dial, the right arrow key or the left arrow key to select the desired time interval for the priority
channel.
Push the ENT key to accept data and return to a standard display. Alternatively, push the
ESC key to abort entry, or, push the down arrow key to move to the next item on the
configuration menu (IF output).
