I guess I was not clear in my question.
When radio scans and it stops on a active channel it will go to the 
"Priority Channel" to check for activity then go back to the active 
channel. How do I get rid of ANY priority channel??
I guess it is called dual watch - how do you disable it??

 From the VX-5R FAQ page at http://www.technodaddy.com/vx5faq/faq.shtml ...
Q: How do I change the "Priority Channel" setting?
A: To change the priority channel, go to the memory mode, and change to the 
channel you with to "prioritize", then press and hold
the [F/W] button, and then press [Band(Set/AR)]. Your new priority channel 
should be set.
 Doesn't say how to get RID of it, though. Hmmm.... actually going to the 
web site, at
http://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=111&encProdID=nFLhjiVz8z8%3D&DivisionID=65&isArchived=0
 How do I change the Priority Channel, or return it to Channel 1?
 It is possible to set the Priority Channel to any "regular" Memory Channel 
in the transceiver. To do this:
(1) Press and hold in the (FW) button until the memory channel blinks, then 
use the DIAL knob to select the channel you wish to
assign as the Priority Channel.
(2) Now press the [BAND] key. The new Priority is now assigned.
(3) To return the Priority Channel to Channel 1 (default), repeat the above 
procedure, selecting Channel 1 in step (1) above.
 Hope this helps some...
