4-8 Weather Alerts (WX ALERT)

LVR-880US only.

Use WX ALERT to set your preferences for weather alert information.

The NOAA provides several weather forecast channels on USA and Canadian channel banks. If severe weather such as storms or hurricanes are forecast, the NOAA broadcasts a weather alert on 1050 Hz.

The NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) works in conjunction with the Emer- gency Alert System (EAS) to issue weather alerts for specific geographic areas or specific weather conditions. It uses a digital encoding system known as SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) to broadcast these alerts.

Each transmitter in the NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) network is identified with a unique 6-digit SAME code. Each transmitter operates on one of 7 frequencies.

Note: To activate a SAME alert, a SAME CODE (county ID) must be selected and turned ON (see section 4-8-2)
