The SAME message the NWR sends contains information, which

tells the radio the time period for which the alert is valid. The

time can be set from 15 minutes up to 6 hours. When the

designated time has passed the display message and light will be

reset to their normal state.

Reviewing Overlapping Alerts

The 74-200 radio can store up to three different alerts (with

overlapping effective times) in its memory. If the radio receives a

new alert while a previous alert is still in effect, is automatically

displays the alert description and sounds the alert for the new alert

message. To scroll backward and forward through the radio’s

memory and review all the effective alerts, press NO (to scroll

forward) or YES (to scroll backward).

When a Test or Demo Alert Occurs

NWR sends out weekly test and occasional demonstration signals
