Always remember the simple Objects, Scanlists and Scan Sets
rule above.
Use your imagination and see how many ways you can come up
with to put Scan Sets to work for you.
Weather Modes
The PSR-800 is also a sophisticated and powerful NOAA
weather radio receiver. You can monitor 24 hour NOAA weather
radio broadcasts anytime, and, you can use the PSR-800 as a
weather priority receiver while scanning to alert you to severe
weather broadcasts as they occur, or you can activate Dedicated
SAME Weather Alert Receiver mode, where your PSR-800
remains quiet until a warning for the specific geographic area(s)
you define is received.
NOTE:
!
Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is
!
an extremely sensitive high quality receiver on the weather
!
frequencies. However, the included flex antenna is optimized for
!
general purpose scanning.
If you use this scanner as your only
!
means for receiving weather alerts, please check to be sure you are
!
receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or switch to an external
!
antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather
!
broadcast.
Weather Monitor
The PSR-800
ʼ
s Weather Monitor mode provides instant access
to NOAA weather broadcasts in your area. To activate Weather
Monitor mode, press the
key. Use the
and
keys to
select the strongest NOAA transmitter for your area.
Weather Priority
Weather Priority mode samples the specified weather frequency
periodically while scanning to see if the All Hazards 1050 Hz
Warning Alert Tone (WAT) is present. If the WAT is present, the
scanner will sound an alarm and tune to the specified weather
frequency to monitor the nature of the alert.
To activate Weather Priority mode, follow the steps above listed
above in Weather Monitor mode, and find the strongest weather
radio transmitter for your area. Once the PSR-800 is tuned to the
strongest weather radio transmitter for your location, note the
weather channel number in the display (e.g., “WX7” is Channel
