Weather Monitor Alert Description
NOAA weather stations in North America have the ability to send out weather alerts.
What this means is when there is any incident of severe weather (listed below) or a possible weather
event, they will send a 1050 Hz tone which will open receivers tuned to the frequency or channel, and
start to play audio for those in alert mode. For receivers which are not in alert mode, and already
playing the NOAA broadcast, you will hear 8 seconds of the 1050 Hz tone, followed by the message. The
alert message will play twice before the station returns to “normal” broadcast, and that will now include
any alert information.
