26 BK Radio
To reply to a message heard on the priority channel,
press the PTT switch. The radio transmits only on the
priority channel when Priority Scan is on. Once activity
has ceased on the priority channel, the radio returns to
scan operation.
CHANGE THE PRIORITY 1 CHANNEL
The fixed Priority 1 channel can be permanently set or
can be changeable. If the radio has a changeable
priority channel, use the following steps to make this
change.
1. Turn Scan and Priority Scan off.
2. Turn the Channel Selector knob to the channel you
want to enter as the new Priority 1 channel.
3. Press and hold the [PRI] button for more than 1
second. A short beep sounds and PR appears in
the display, indicating that the displayed channel is
now the priority channel.
NOTE: If the radio is programmed for Dual Priority
operation, only Priority 1 channel can be
changed with the [PRI] button.
NOTE: A channel can be the priority channel even
if it is on the Scan List. Due to multiple
sampling of the same channel, however,
maximum performance occurs when the
priority channel is not on the Scan List.
UNIT-TO-UNIT CALL
P25 Unit IDs allow for Unit-To-Unit calls when the radio
is operating in Digital Mode. The microphone’s [*] key
must be enabled by radio programming to allow this
mode of operation. To view the radio’s ID, press and
hold the [*] key while not in Unit-To-Unit Mode. (Unit-
To-Unit Mode is indicated by a phone icon in the upper
right corner of the display). Channels programmed for
analog only operation will not be able to transmit or
receive Unit-To-Unit calls.

with its own set of operational features.

knob. Press the GRP button again to return to

channel, the radio will emit a beep and remain on
the lowest channel.
