DWeather alert

A NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone before important weather information. When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then the “WX ALT” indicator blinks until the transceiver is operated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked any time during standby or while scanning.

•“WX ALT” appears instead of “WX” indication when the function is set ON.
