Weather alert function
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones be-
fore important weather announcements. When the weather
alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel
is monitored every 5 sec. for the announcement. When the
alert signal is detected, the “ALT” and the WX channel are
displayed alternately and sounds a beep tone until the re-
ceiver is operated. The previously selected (used) weather
channel is checked periodically during standby or while
scanning.
