SAME alerts include FIPS codes to identify areas, established by the US Census bureau. You can set your scanner to alert for all areas or limit weather alerts to up to 10 specific areas by FIPS code.

The National Weather Service maintains a current list of FIPS codes at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.

To program a FIPS code:

1.	Press WX and listen to identify the weather station with the
	strongest signal.
2.	Press FUNC, and then PROG to access the FIPS code entry table.
3.	Use  or  to select the desired FIPS code storage location.
4.	Use the number keys to enter the FIPS code. The format of a
	FIPS code is:

		Subdivisions		State Code		County Code

		0-9		01-50		XXX
		(0=entire area)		(00=all states)		(000=all counties)

				Example: 048439
		(0=All; 48=Texas; 439=Tarrant County)

5.	(Optional) To label the code, press TEXT and use the letter
	buttons to enter text.
6.	Press ENT to store the code. Repeat this process to program
	additional FIPS codes.
