Weather (WX) Standby Mode
To enter the WX Standby mode, press and hold the
WX/H-M-L button. All common operating functions of the
radio will work the same in WX Standby mode as they do in
the normal Marine and GMRS Standby modes.
WX Alert Standby Mode
NOAA broadcasts weather information as described in the
NOAA weather channels section on page 31 of this manual.
When NOAA broadcasts a weather alert signal and your
radio is in WX Alert Standby mode, the following items will
be displayed on the LCD display:
■ The WX icon (cloud/sun) icon will be displayed.
■ The last used weather channel will be displayed.
■ The bar graph will display received signal strength level.
■ The WX Alert icon (safety triangle) will be displayed).
NOTE
Only one (1) or two (2) of the weather channels will
be operating in any given location (only in Receive
(Rx) mode). You will need to select the channel with
the strongest signal in your location.
NOTE
When in the WX Alert mode, and NOAA sends the
1050Hz alert tone, the radio will sound a series of loud
beeps regardless of the volume control setting.
WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function:
The purpose of the WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is to
enable the receiver to automatically scan for an active WX
channel under the following conditions:
1. WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is On.
2. WX Alert or SAME is On (one or the other but not both).
3. The radio is tuned to a Marine VHF channel and has
entered Power Save mode (meaning there is no signal
activity or user input for 10 seconds).
4. The radio software has detected that the current WX
channel signal level has dropped below a preset minimum
level or is gone completely.
Once these conditions have been met, the software will then
scan the WX channels looking for an active WX channel.
When an active WX channel is found it will stop the scan
and use the new WX channel to look for the standard
1050Hz alert tone or SAME data depending on WX setup.
