Skywarn

The Skywarn function lets you jump directly to the last channel in memory (Channel 1000) from any mode by press and holding WX/. The scanner goes into scan hold mode and starts receiving transmissions in the last channel. Before using this feature, enter the local Skywarn frequency for your area into Channel 1000. If no frequency is programmed in the last channel, No Prog appears and the scanner sounds an error tone.
