When the Weather Alert feature is enabled (see section “10.10 WX ALERT”), the transceiver is capable of receiving this alert if the following is performed:

1.Program NOAA weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scan- ning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under section “9.12 SCANNING.”

2.Press the [SCAN(MEM)] key once to start memory scanning or priority scan- ning (determined from the “10.7 SCAN TYPE” section, see page 60 for
