BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
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 each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the “WX Alert” blinks and the WX channel is
displayed, and sounds a beep tone until a change is made
within the control screen, or the

previously selected (used) weather channel is checked peri-
odically during standby or while scanning.

toms, set the weather alert item to OFF in set mode.
