The NOAA weather channels now cooperate with the FCC to alert you of other hazards

received in Weather Alert mode, the radio sounds an alert tone and the display blinks.

Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch

If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather mode, it operates as a

an alert is detected, the radio sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This

mode is very useful when you are anchoring for the night but want to keep informed of

hazards.
