Priority sounds like a channel button, so if you have a particular frequency you want to listen to, you can just press that and it goes to it.The biggest thing that will determine the range you hear is the type and height of antenna. A telescoping antenna on the back of the scanner will work for local stuff, but if you want to hear 40+ miles away to other towns, you'll have to get an external antenna, preferably in the attic or on the roof outside.</blockquote>
