• Master Antenna Preview is automatically disabled if antenna priority is
enabled.
Enable Master Antenna Preview via:
Codelog > 1)Config## > 4)Ant/Hydr > 5)Priority > 2)En/Dis Master Preview
Selecting 2)En/Dis Master Preview changes the preview from being enabled or
disabled. Watch the first line of the LCD to see which setting is applied.

Antenna priority is used when it is desirable to scan all frequencies in a
frequency table before moving on to the next radio antenna/hydrophone. Any
valid detections of transmitters that occur during scanning are recorded.
In this example, three frequencies are used, two radio and one acoustic, in a
selected frequency table (on channels 1 [acoustic], 2 [radio], and 3[radio]). They
were entered into the frequency table in the scan order: {2, 3, and 1}. Antenna
priority has been selected. The radio group has two antennas (4 and 7) and the
hydrophone group has two hydrophones (5 and 8). Antenna 4 is the radio master
antenna and Antenna 8 is the hydrophone master. The scan time is set to 15
seconds. The list below illustrates the order in which scanning would take place:
• Radio master antenna 4 scans channel 2 for 15 seconds
• Radio master antenna 4 scans channel 3 for 15 seconds
• [radio master] antenna 4 scans channel 2 for 15 seconds
• [radio master] antenna 4 scans channel 3 for 15 seconds
• Radio antenna 7 scans channel 2 for 15 seconds
• Radio antenna 7 scans channel 3 for 15 seconds
• The receiver has now scanned both radio antennas for all radio frequencies
and then moves on to the hydrophones
• Hydrophone master 8 scans channel 1 for 15 seconds
• Hydrophone 5 scans channel 1 for 15 seconds
• Hydrophone 8 [hydrophone master] scans channel 1 for 15 seconds
