SAME Alert Codes
Your HH450 radio has the ability to alert you when NOAA sends out
alerts from their Emergency Alert System (EAS). These alerts cover
any weather related watches, warnings or statements. Using this
system insures that you will always be aware of your local Weather,
Civil, and National emergency events.
For a complete list of all the event codes your radio is capable of
displaying, please go to the following web address:

WX Auto Seatch (SCAN)
WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function
The purpose of the
WX Auto Search (SCAN)
function is to enable the receiver to
automatically scan for an active
WX
channel under the following conditions:
1. WX Auto Search (SCAN)
function is On.
2. WX Alert
is On.
3.
The radio is tuned to a
Marine or GMRS
channel and has entered
Power Save
mode (meaning there is no signal activity or user
input for 10 seconds).
4.
The radio software has detected that the current
WX
channel
signal level has dropped below a preset minimum level or is
gone completely.
Once these conditions have been met, the software will then scan the
Weather
channels
looking for an active
Weather
channel. When an active
Weather
channel is found it will
stop the scan and use the new
Weather
channel to look for the standard 1050Hz alert
tone.
