When monitoring objects, the PSR-800 will check the specified
weather frequency periodically for the 1050 Hz Warning Alert
Tone (WAT). If WAT is found, the PSR-800 will sound an alarm
and monitor the weather alert audio.

Weather Priority mode above, and select “OFF” as the Priority
channel. Press the

Dedicated SAME Weather Alert Receiver
Dedicated SAME Weather Alert Receiver mode monitors the
specified weather frequency silently, waiting to receive a Specific
Area Message Encoding (SAME) alert that corresponds with a
SAME location code (also known as a FIPS code) that you have
entered. If there is a match between a transmitted SAME location
code and one that you have previously stored, the PSR-800 will
sound an alarm, display the alert type, and monitor the alert. Up
to 10 SAME FIPS location codes can be stored in the PSR-800.
To use Dedicated SAME Weather Alert Receiver mode, first you
should program at least one SAME location code for your city,
county or state. With the default factory setup, SAME mode will
alert on any SAME message received if no SAME location codes
are entered. A list of SAME location codes can be found online at
this web site:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm
Entering SAME Location and Event Codes
The following steps are used to create a SAME entry that
provides all weather alerts for a given location.
Press the
key to activate Weather Monitor mode, then press
the
MENU
key. Use the
and
keys to scroll to the SAME 1
Tag parameter. Press the
▶
/II/SEL
key to enter a name for the
SAME 1 location. Follow the on screen instructions to create and
save the name and return to the Weather menu. For this
example we will use DALLAS COUNTY.
