The SAME message the NWR sends contains information, which tells the radio the time period for which the alert is valid. The time can be set from 15 minutes up to 6 hours. When the designated time has passed the display message and light will be reset to their normal state.

Reviewing Overlapping Alerts

The 74-200 radio can store up to three different alerts (with overlapping effective times) in its memory. If the radio receives a new alert while a previous alert is still in effect, is automatically displays the alert description and sounds the alert for the new alert message. To scroll backward and forward through the radio’s memory and review all the effective alerts, press NO (to scroll forward) or YES (to scroll backward).

When a Test or Demo Alert Occurs

NWR sends out weekly test and occasional demonstration signals
