Digital Weather Alert Feature

This feature supercedes “Weather Alert Feature” on Page 47 of your Owner’s Manual.

The weather service precedes each weather alert with a digitally- encoded SAME signal, then a 1050 Hz tone. You can set the scan- ner so, if you are monitoring a weather channel with a digitally- encoded SAME signal when an alert is broadcast, the scanner will decode and display the SAME message, showing the type of alert being broadcast (or Unknown Message if it does not recognize the event code).

To set the scanner to decode and display SAME messages, press FUNC then WX while you listen to the weather channel. DIG WX STBY and Cancel: F+WX appear.

To turn off SAME standby mode, press FUNC then WX. DIG WX STBY disappears.

Notes:

The scanner does not display the actual location referenced by SAME messages. It uses only the message portion of the SAME signal.

Your scanner can also receive weather alert tones (see “Prior- ity” on Page 51).
