EVENT TYPE FILTER
The RDX radio is a programmable weather radio that
allows users to choose the type of weather warnings
and watches that will alarm. The radio can be
programmed to allow or block an event by its type.
All Events
When checked, the radio allows for all SAME events.
Alert Test Event
When SAME alert is enabled, the radio responds to
any test events. When checked, the radio alerts the
same way as other SAME alert messages. When
unchecked, the radio displays only the Message,
lights the alert LED without unmuting the radio. The
radio does not play the new alert tone at this time.
Note: No matter how the user programs the event
filter, some critical events cannot be
blocked. The National Weather Service
broadcast a test alert every week on
Wednesday between 11 AM and Noon.
Users should use test alert to ensure that
their radios are functioning properly. See
also: The Critical Events Table.
WARNING
When checked, the radio allows all warning events.
Warning events are events that alone pose a
significant threat to public safety and/or property.
Note: No matter how the user programs the event
filter, some critical events cannot be
blocked. See also: “The Critical Events
Table” on page 50.
WATCH
When checked, the radio allows all watch events.
Watches are events that meet the classification of a
warning, but either the onset time, probability of
occurrence or location is uncertain.
