The
DEFEAT ALERT TONE
feature relates to an event, which may occur in your
specific area, but might not be relevant to where you live.
Example:
SMW= Special Marine
Warning. If you live in an area near a large body of water, and you are far enough away that
those conditions will not affect your area, you can choose to DISABLE that alert. When
disabled, the SFA1150 will ignore Special Marine Warnings that are broadcast by NOAA.
See the
“SELECTABLE ALERT REFERENCE CHART”
section in this manual for a list of
the pre-defined events loaded in this radio. The list is in alphabetical order to determine
which events can be disabled.
Events marked with an asterisk “ * ” on the
“SELECTABLE ALERT REFERENCE CHART” cannot be disabled.
