Weather alert function
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before
important weather announcements. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-
tored every 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the “ALT” and the WX channel are displayed
alternately and sounds a beep tone until the transceiver is op-
erated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is
checked periodically during standby or while scanning.
