TRIPLE WATCH (CB MODE)
The Triple Watch function is an extension of the Dual Watch feature. It allows the GX400 to
monitor three channels – Channel 8, a selected channel and a Priority channel. Each channel is
scanned equally for signals with priority given first to Channel 8, then the Priority channel and
lastly the selected channel.
When Triple Watch is selected, the ‘TW’ icon is displayed. The Priority channel used is the one
stored in the PR1 memory.
To use the Triple Watch mode, first program your Priority channel into the PR1 memory then
select your preferred working channel using the or keys. Now briefly press the TW key.
A high beep will be heard, ‘TW’ will appear and the channel display will alternate between
Channel 8, your selected channel and your Priority channel.
To cancel Triple Watch
Briefly press the TW key. A low beep will be heard and ‘TW’ will disappear from the display.
TRIPLE WATCH FEATURES
If a signal appears on Channel 8
The radio will switch immediately to Channel 8. At this point the selected channel and the PR1
channel are no longer being monitored because Channel 8 has highest priority. During this time
the PTT may be pressed for normal transmissions on Channel 8.
Once Channel 8 has become inactive for 5 seconds the Triple Watch function will resume.
If a signal appears on the PR1 channel
Scanning will pause on the PR1 channel but Channel 8 will continue to be monitored (the
selected channel is not monitored). During this time the PTT may be pressed for normal
transmissions on the PR1 channel (monitoring of Channel 8 ceases while transmitting).
Once the PR1 channel has become inactive for 5 seconds Triple Watch will resume.
If a signal appears on the selected channel
Scanning will pause on the selected channel but Channel 8 and the PR1 channel will continue
to be monitored. During this time the PTT may be pressed for normal transmissions on the
selected channel (monitoring of Channel 8 and the Priority channel ceases while transmitting).
Once the selected channel has become inactive for 5 seconds the Triple Watch will resume.
To transmit on the selected channel while Triple Watching
Simply press the PTT. The Triple Watch function will pause during the transmission and remain
paused until 5 seconds after all activity has ceased on the channel. Triple Watch will then resume.
To transmit on the Priority channel while Triple Watching
Briefly press the PR1 key. The PR1 channel will then become the selected channel. Now press
the PTT and transmit in the usual way. When your conversation has ended you may use the
or keys to re-select your preferred channel.
