Programming SAME Groups SAME
(Specific Area Messaging System) is a system developed
by the National Weather Service to reduce the number of alerts received by consumers by
allowing them to hear alerts only for the county(ies) they are interested in. Each alert contains
information about the type and severity of the alert, as well as the specific geographic locations
affected by the alert. In addition, certain special regions and wildcard settings can be assigned.
Your scanner can receive all SAME alert signals broadcast within about a 50-mile radius of where
you use it.
