Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives six NOAA frequencies. (See the Frequency and Code Charts beginning
on page 35 for a complete list.)
After turning on the weather broadcast, select the
WEATHER
mode and the
SET CHAN
menu to
select the strongest channel.
Note: As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception depends upon how close
you are to a transmitter. If you’re out of range you’ll hear static--try another weather
channel.
...We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special bulletin...
Well, almost. You can program your two-way radio to cut in and switch to the
weather channel whenever it receives an emergency weather advisory.
Setting the Weather Alert
If you set the weather alert, whenever NOAA transmits an emergency
weather broadcast, your radio switches to the selected weather channel
when it detects the transmission.
To set weather alerts, select the
WEATHER
mode and the
SET ALERT
menu. When weather alerts
are set, o is displayed.
Note: The TalkAbout T6000-series two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios
primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio uses the
same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions. Therefore, it is
possible to miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way communication
(either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you do not miss a weather alert, leave
the radio in the Weather Mode.
