receiving nwr-same and weather alert signals

In 1994, the National Oceanic and Aerospace Administration (NOAA) began broadcasting alerts that include digitally encoded data. Speciﬁc Area Message Encoding (SAME) includes information which identiﬁes the severity of the alert. While this scanner does not encode speciﬁc geographical data, it does detect SAME signals and decode the alert level. The scanner displays this data as codes corresponding to the levels of severity (L1, L2, and L3).
