Operation
monitors the currently selected weather frequency for a 1050Hz subaudible tone that
indicates a weather warning or alert has been issued.
When the Weather Alert is enabled, the radio will scan a regular channel and then a
weather channel. If Priority Channel Scan (page 60) is enabled, the radio will first
scan a regular channel, then a weather channel, then the priority channel, in that order.
If the 1050Hz alert tone is detected, the radio will stop scanning and produce an alert.
Press the PTT to acknowledge the alert and the radio will activate the weather channel.
To exit Weather Mode, press and hold the [BAND] key for 2 seconds. The radio will
return to the last channel or frequency accessed.
