10.6.1 NOAA Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes,
the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one
of the NOAA weather channels. When the Weather Alert feature is enabled
(see section “
12.8 WX ALERT ”), the transceiver is capable of receiving this
alert if the following is performed:
1. Program NOAA weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scan-
ning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under section “ 10.11
SCANNING .”
2. Press the [ SCAN
(
MEM
)] key once to start memory scanning or priority
scanning (determined from the “
RADIO SETUP RADIO SETUP
RADIO SETUP RADIO SETUP RADIO SETUP
” selection, see page 42 for
details).
3. The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with the
regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a nor-
mal weather broadcast unless a NOAA alert is received.
4. When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel, scanning will stop
and the transceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the user of a NOAA broad-
cast.
5. Press the [ WX
] key to stop the alert tone and receive the weather report.
NOTE
If the [ WX
] key is not pressed the alert tone will be emitted for 5 minutes
and then the weather report will be received.
NOTE
The Weather Alert feature is also engaged while the transceiver is re-
ceiving on one of the NOAA weather channels.
