WEATHER ALERT

In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and

hurricanes, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)

sends a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent

weather reports on the weather channels. The transceiver is capable of

receiving this alert if the following steps are performed:

1. Program weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for

scanning. Follow the same procedure as used for regular channels in

Section 5.6.

2. Press the SCAN key to start a scan.

3. The programmed weather channels are scanned along with the

regular programmed channels. However, the scan does not stop for

normal weather broadcast.

4. When an alert is received on a weather channel, scanning stops and

the transceiver enters the WEATHER ALERT MODE.

5. When the transceiver is in the WEATHER ALERT MODE, a loud

tone is sounded.

6. Press the WX key to stop the alert tone and receive the voice

information on the weather channel.
