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
