Using Weather Modes
Contents
There are three weather modes you can use with these scanners; Weather Radio, Weather Priority, and SAME Standby.
Weather Radio
Weather radio mode allows you to receive weather broadcasts from your local weather service. While in
Weather Radio Mode, your scanner will alert on SAME messages that match the SAME location codes you
have entered or all SAME messages if you have not entered any SAME location codes.
To hear your local weather channel press WX . If it is a weak signal, press ▼ or ▲ to find a stronger channel.
Press SCAN to exit.
Weather Priority
Weather Priority mode monitors the current weather frequency periodically (see Weather settings in the ' Expert
Settings ' menu) while scanning to see if the All Hazards 1050 Hz Warning Alert Tone (WAT) is present. If so,
the scanner will sound an alarm and tune to the specified weather frequency to monitor the alert.
To toggle Weather Priority Mode press WX then PRI . You will see -P next to the weather channel number. Press
SCAN to exit.
Weather Scan Mode
SAME Standby Mode
SAME Program Menu
SAME Standby
SAME Standby Mode monitors the specified weather frequency silently , waiting to receive a Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) alert that
corresponds with up to 10 SAME location code(s) and event code(s) that you have programmed. If there is a match between a sent SAME location
code/event code and one that you have programmed, the scanner will sound an alarm, display the alert type, and monitor the alert. To activate SAME
Standby Mode for your area, you should provide at least one SAME location code for your city, county or state. You may wish to enter additional codes for
surrounding areas so that you can receive advance warning of adverse or dangerous weather that may be headed in your direction. By default, SAME
mode will alert on any SAME message received if no SAME location codes are programmed.
The NWS has divided the United States into regions by state and county (or parish, where applicable) then assigned a 6-digit FIPS code to identify each
county or parish. For example, the code for Tarrant County, Texas, is 048439. The first digit in a FIPS code identifies the county subdivision, the next two
digits identify the state, and the last three digits identify the county or parish. Most FIPS codes begin with 0, which means the code represents an entire
county. The NWS, however, plans to eventually subdivide some large counties. When that happens, each subdivision will be assigned a digit from 1-9,
resulting in codes such as 148439, 248439, and so on.
FIPS (SAME) codes are in the format nSSCCC:
n : A special subcounty designator. For an entire county, use 0.
SS : The state code.
CCC : The county code.
These scanners also feature a SAME wildcard feature that allows you to set the radio to alarm on partial matches of the location code or all codes. Using
the wildcard feature you can enter a SAME area code such as *48***. This tells the radio to alert on any SAME message with a location code that matches
48 for any county in Texas. Each SAME location and event code can be set to '
ON ' (enabled) or ' OFF ' and Lockout set to ' ON ' or ' OFF '. The Lockout
feature allows you to enter and lockout certain event codes like the weekly test event code and still here other event codes with one or more location
codes.
Warning: In case of a conflict (i.e., two identical codes and events are entered), and one is locked out, the locked out entry will take precedence.
To obtain the FIPS (SAME) codes call the NWS toll free at 1-888-697-7263 (follow the instructions you hear) or see FIP codes for the United States and its
Possessions.
Event Codes
Event codes are just different types of warnings. These scanners will allow to program specific alert event codes or a wildcard code (that will receive any
event) and/or lock them out so you can monitor just the events you want to hear. A list of event codes can be found
here .
