Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch
If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in normal
mode, the radio
checks the most
recently used
weather channel
every seven seconds.
If it detects a weather
or other hazard alert,
it will switch to that
weather channel. (If
you are actively transmitting, the radio waits until you finish
your transmission before checking the weather channel.)
Normal mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in normal mode,
the radio checks channels
9.and.16
every two seconds; with
Dual Watch turned on, the radio only checks channel 16. The
radio will not check channels
9.and.16
while you are actively
transmitting; it waits until your transmission is finished and
then checks the channels.
wx
Every seven seconds, the
radio checks the last-used
weather channel.
