2.4 Channel Watch Scan Screen
2.4.1 Dual Watch Scan
In Dual Watch, CH16 and an additional channel will be scanned for watching.
Generally, CH16 will be sampled for 0.15s while the additional channel is sampled for 1.85s.
When a signal is detected on CH16 during sampling, the scanning will stop and the receiver will stay on CH16
for receiving. As soon as the signal disappears on CH16, the scanning between two channels will restore.
If a signal is detected on the additional channel during sampling, the transceiver will continue the sampling of
0.15s on CH16 every 2s when receiving on the additional channel. Whenever a signal is detected on CH16
during sampling, the transceiver will stay on CH16 for receiving, by ignoring the signal on the additional
channel.
Procedures:
①Set the additional channel to be watched (for example CH18). Refer to Section 3.2 Channel Setting.
②Click [MULIT] - [DW]to start the scanning. The screen alternately switches between CH 16 and CH 18.
③To stop scanning, click [MULIT] - [DW]again or click any other button on the screen.
