The Dal Watch (DW) function is used to

• A. Listen on any selected channel while periodically monitoring CH-16
• B. Maintain a continuous watch on CH-16 only
• C. Transmit on CH-16 and CH-70
• D. Switch to a DSC mode only

Answer: (A)

Dual Watch lets you keep an ear on two things at once: you can monitor a user-selected channel while the radio periodically checks Channel 16 for distress calls. This means you can carry on a conversation on your chosen channel and still stay alert for emergencies on the hailing channel. It does not involve transmitting on two channels at once, nor does it switch the radio to a DSC-only mode, and it’s not simply a continuous watch on Channel 16. Channel 16 is the watch/allocating channel for distress and hails, so this feature helps you stay responsive to emergencies while continuing normal communication.
