Weather Alert Scan
This feature allows you to check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for the
presence of the NOAA Alert Tone while operating using VFO scan or Memory channel
scan.
When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the
FT-2980R will check the Weather
Broadcast Memory Channels for activity every five seconds while scanning. If you watch
the display carefully, you’ll observe the scanner periodically shifting to the Weather
Broadcast bank, scanning the Weather channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after
which regular scanning will resume for another five seconds.
To enable the Weather Alert Scan feature:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select “
57 WX ALT
”.
2. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL knob to
set this Menu item to “
ON
”.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
4. To disable the Weather Alert Scan feature, select “
OFF
”
in step 2 above.
You can change the Weather Alert Tone volume level to maximum regardless the VOL
knob setting, using Menu item “ 58 WX VOL ”. See page 71 for details.
1) When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the Scan-Resume mode
will be fixed on “HOLD”.
2) If you are just scanning the Weather Broadcast Channels, the FT-2980R’s re-
ceiver will remain muted indefinitely unless the Alert Tone is received. This
yields a long period of monitoring time, as no power will be consumed via au-
dio output while scanning (for the Alert Tone) is in progress.
Band Edge Beeper
The FT-2980R will automatically “beep” when the receiver’s band edge is encountered
during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may
additionally enable this feature (band edge beeper) when the frequency reaches the band
edge while selecting the VFO frequency manually, using the
DIAL
knob.
The procedure for enabling the Band-Edge Beeper (during manual tuning) is:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second,
then rotate the
DIAL
knob to select “ 21 EDG.BEP ”.
2. Press the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key, then rotate the
DIAL knob to
set this Menu item to “ ON ”.
3. Press and hold in the [ MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
