Weather Alerts
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated
channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). NOAA broadcasts Specic Area Message
Encoding (SAME) alerts that include digitally encoded data about the
severity of the alert.
Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated
channels for use by their weather reporting authorities.
If you program a weather channel as the Priority channel, your
scanner can detect the 1050 Hz weather alert tone. All alerts are
received (FIPS settings are ignored), and the scanner stays on the
Priority channel only if the scanner detects a weather alert.
To perform a weather scan:
Press WX. Your scanner scans through the weather bands then stops
on the next available weather broadcast.
To program a weather channel into priority channel:
1. Press WX.
2. Select the weather channel.
3. Press FUNC and then PRI.
