In addition, many counties have been further subdivided into as many as 9 smaller sub-sections. The numbers
of one (1) to nine (9) in the far left column of a SAME code identifies specific sub-sections of a county. If the county
has not been subdivided, the first digit of the county code will be zero (0).
ABOUT RADIO CHANNELS
The NWR radio channels work in the same way as radio channels of a regular radio. All of the NWR transmission
stations operate on one of seven frequencies.
Channel Corresponding Radio Frequency
A
162.400 MHz
B
162.425 MHz
C
162.450 MHz
D
162.475 MHz
E
162.500 MHz
F
162.525 MHz
G
162.550 MHz
The WR102 labels each frequency channel “A” to “G”. Once a radio frequency for a region has been selected,
the WR102 will receive audio and code information on this frequency.
The radio channel is located in the upper left hand corner of the LCD.
TO CHANGE THE RADIO CHANNEL
1. In any of the time displays, press [CHANNEL] and hold for two (2) seconds. The unit will emit a beep when
initially pressed and then again after the two seconds. The channel selection icon will begin to flash.
2. While the channel selection icon is flashing, press [UP VOLUME] or [DOWN VOLUME] to scroll through the
channel selections.
3. When the channel has been selected, press [MODE] to save selection and to return to time display mode.
