I picked up an FT-60R on Friday. The plan is to use the radio as a receiver only. I have a question about the priority setting. I hope someone shed a bit more light on this for me.
The software and cable did not arrive yet, so I'm programming via the keypad. From reading the manual, it seems to me the priority will not work while in scan mode. In order for the priority to work, I need to hold on a single channel, then the radio will monitor the priority channel. This seems to be the case for VFO priority, Memory Channel Priority, and Home Priority "scanning". I activated the Memory Bank feature which also seems to work the same way.
Is this correct? Is there another way to use priority while scanning through channels?
Thanks,
