Weather Modes

iSCAN is a sophisticated and powerful NOAA weather radio receiver. You can use iSCAN to:

Monitor 24-hour NOAA weather radio broadcasts using Normal

Weather Mode.

Monitor for severe weather broadcasts while you continue scanning other channels using Weather Priority Mode.

Monitor for warnings received in your defined geographic area using SAME Standby Mode.

Quickly access and monitor Skywarn repeater frequencies stored in the Skywarn playlist.

nNote: Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is an extremely sensitive high quality receiver for weather frequencies. However, the supplied flex antenna is optimized for general purpose scanning. If you use this scanner as your only means for receiving weather alerts, please check to be sure you are receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or switch to an external antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather broadcast.

Normal Weather Mode

Monitor the National Weather Service’s NOAA weather broadcasts in your area. To listen to NOAA weather broadcasts, press , then press or to select the strongest NOAA channel for your area.

Weather Priority Mode

To receive severe weather broadcasts while you continue scanning

 

other channels, set your local NOAA channel as the Weather Priority

 

channel. iSCAN samples the Weather Priority channel periodically

 

to see if the All Hazards 1050 Hz Warning Alert Tone is present. If it

 

is, the scanner will display an alert and tune to the specified weather

Weather

frequency to monitor the alert.
