The AZ-61 has dual watch capability which is also called priority operation. Priority operation can be used with either the VFO model or memory mode. Dual watch is of the frequency being received and the MA0 channel. The MA0 channel is scanned approximately every four seconds. Receiving a signal on the MA0 channel produces a beep sounds and "S" is displayed.
While using the dual watch mode, pressing PTT allows immediate transmission of the channel set in the VFO mode or memory mode.
The various functions on the vintage AZ-61 are a challenge to operate without instructions. Hope the information below helps AZ-61 owners master priority operation (dual watch) on their AZ-61.
