Spontaneous channel continuity scanning radio
First Claim
1. A method for modifying a channel scan sequence in response to generation of a control signal in a scanning radio for receiving signals on a number of channels and having scanning circuitry for monitoring individual ones of the predetermined channels including priority channel monitoring circuitry, wherein data respresenting at least one channel is stored and designated as a priority channel, comprising the steps of:
- displacing, in response to generation of the control signal, said stored data identifying at least one channel designated as a priority channel;
assigning, for a temporary period, a channel monitored by the scanning circuitry, to a priority designation in response to generation of the control signal; and
automatically restoring the displaced data after the temporary period expires.

Abstract
An improved channel scanning radio which automatically monitors a channel being monitored by the scanning circuitry at the time of the microphone is taken off-hook by treating that channel as a priority channel for a short period after the microphone is returned to the hang-up position. This permits the operator to automatically monitor a channel of interest without stopping the scan function.
