Weather (Wx)

Dark clouds on the horizon? Press the WX key to enter the WX (WEATHER) MODE and get the latest weather information. The last used Wx channel always appears first. Use the ↑ ↓ keys to change the WX channel. In PRIORITY SCAN or MEMORY SCAN MODES, pressing the WX key allows the WX ALERT function to be toggled off and on. Select the WX channel before

starting a PRIORITY SCAN or MEMORY SCAN.

If a WX ALERT – a 1050Hz-tone burst transmitted from the NOAA Weather service – is issued, a special circuit in the radio detects the tone and during scanning modes (except All Scan), a loud 2-tone warn- ing will sound. The warning tone is canceled by pressing any key. The radio will stop scanning and switch to the WX channel to broadcast the warning. You know the radio is scanning the WX channel, if you see the

flash as it scans through the weather channels.
