5.7 NOAA WEATHER ALERT
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurri-
canes, 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 Weater Aleart fea-
ture is enabled (see section 7.4 WEATER ALERT), the transceiver is ca-
pable 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
5.8.
2. Press the [ SCAN
] key once to start memory scanning or hold down the
[
SCAN
] key during memory scanning to start priority scanning.
3. The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with
the regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a
normal 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
broadcast.
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 Aleart feature is also engaged while the transceiver is
received on the one of the NOAA weather channel.
