the display.

◆Transmit offset status and Reverse status are not stored in an

odd-split Call Channel.

WEATHER ALERT (K MARKET MODELS ONLY)

Any of the NOAA Weather Radio channels can be

programmed to the AL memory channel of the

transceiver. The transceiver can be configured to check

the NOAA Weather Alert tone (1050 Hz) and will

automatically alert you by recalling and monitoring the

Weather Radio frequency when the Weather Alert tone

is broadcasted, and the “WX” icon will blink.

PROGRAMMING THE WEATHER RADIO FREQUENCY

The transceiver is preprogrammed to 162.550 MHz

(WX1). You can store a different frequency to the AL

channel to use this function. Refer to the NOAA channel

frequency directory for your local weather channel

frequency before you use the Weather Alert function.

The latest Weather Radio information can be obtained

from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.

[DWN].

Note:

◆When you perform Full Reset {page 63}, the Weather Radio

frequency recovers the factory default frequency (162.550 MHz).

◆When you clear the Weather Radio (AL) Channel {page 31} (the

same as clearing a Memory Channel), the factory default

frequency (162.550 MHz) will not be recovered.

◆The Weather Radio (AL) Channel can be programmed with a

Channel Name {page 32}.

◆You can also transfer the AL Memory Channel data to the VFO or

another Memory Channel.

ENABLING A WEATHER ALERT

continuously or in the background while receiving on

another frequency.

To monitor the Weather Radio frequency continuously:
