5.8 WEATHER ALERT
In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather reports on the weather channels. The transceiver is capable of receiving this alert if the following steps are performed:
1.Program weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scanning. Follow the same procedure as used for regular channels in Section 5.6.
2.Press the SCAN key to start a scan.
3.The programmed weather channels are scanned along with the regular programmed channels. However, the scan does not stop for normal weather broadcast.
4.When an alert is received on a weather channel, scanning stops and the transceiver enters the WEATHER ALERT MODE.
5.When the transceiver is in the WEATHER ALERT MODE, a loud tone is sounded.
6.Press the WX key to stop the alert tone and receive the voice information on the weather channel.
