WX Alert
Turning On the Weather Alert Feature
Turn on the WX alert function by pressing FUNC + ALT in the WX search or WX search hold mode. ALT appears. When the scanner receives a WX alert signal while the WX alert function is on, it goes into WX alert hold mode and generates a WX alert tone, and ALT flashes. To stop the WX alert tone, press any key. ALT disappears.
Chain Search
This feature lets you search through preset frequency ranges. You can also change each range to a range you set. There are three modes within this feature: chain search mode, chain search hold mode, and program band select mode.
