Weather Alert Scan
This feature checks the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for signals that contain
the presence of the NOAA Alert Tone while using VFO scan or Memory channel scan.
When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the FT5DR/DE will check the Weather
Broadcast Channels for activity every five seconds while scanning. If you watch the dis-
play carefully, you can observe the scanner periodically shift to the Weather Broadcast
channel and quickly scan the Weather channels in search of the Alert Tone. If no Alert
Tone is received, regular scanning will resume for another five seconds.
