How
Safety
Radar
Works
Safety Warning System,
or
SWS,
uses a
modified K-band radar signal. The
SWS
safety
radar system has
64
possible messages (60
currently allocated). The
SWS
messages
your
RX65
can
display are listed
on
the
facing page.
From
the
factory, your
RX65
is
programmed
with
SWS
decoding
OFF.
If
SWS
is
used in
your
area, your
RX65
will
display
the
safety messages associated
with
the signal.
If
you
wish
to
detect this system,
use
the
Programming feature
to
tum
RX65's
SWS
decoding ON.
NOTE:
Some
of
the
safety messages
have
been
condensed, so that
each
message
can
be
displayed
on
one
or
two
screens
on
RX65's eight-eharacter display.

Since Safety radar technology
is
relatively
new,
and
the
number
of
transmitters in operation is
not
yet wide-
spread,
you
will
not
receive Safety signals
on
a daily basis. Do
not
be
surprised
if
you
encounter
emergencyvehicles, road
hazards
and
railroad crossings that are
unequipped
with
these transmitters. As
Safety transmitters
become
more
prevalent
(the
number
of
operating transmitters
is
growing every day), these Safety radar
signals will
become
more
common.
