NOAA ALERT MESSAGES
MESSAGE CODES USED BY THE NWR
When the NWR airs urgent warnings, a digital code
known as Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is
included as part of the message. This coding system
contains specific information including the localized
geographical area affected and the expiration time of
the message. The WR108 retrieves and interprets SAME
code messages and alerts the user. When SAME codes
for a specific region have been entered into the unit, the
unit alerts the user to relevant warning information for
the specified region. Once alerted, a voice broadcast
can be heard.
SET UP RADIO TO RECEIVE NOAA ALERT MESSAGES
To receive a NOAA alert message, press to set the
radio to one of the following options:
• Radio ON [ ]: The radio is ON and voice
messages can be heard continuously.
• Radio Standby [ ]: The radio is in Standby and
will switch to ON when a NOAA alert message is
received.
