your nearest National Weather

Weather Alert
What You Should Know About Weather
If threatening weather is nearby, the National Weather
Service may broadcast a 10 second alert tone. This
tone will be heard through the CB, even if the CB/WX
Control is in the CB mode or the unit is turned off.
This enables you to monitor CB frequencies and still be
warned by the National Weather Service Emergency
Alert. When you hear the alert, press the CB/WX but-
ton in the WX mode. You will then be able to hear the
Weather Warning Broadcast.
Your 29 LX MAX has a special auto squelch circuit for
weather transmission which disables your squelch
control.
Weather
Channels
Weather Alert Scan
The unit will continually scan all 10 WX channels for 1050
Hz tone. If the tone is detected the unit will activate
WX
mode on the channel with the tone. Default state is Off.
Go to Menu mode to choose
On/Off (see page 30):
What is Weather Radio?
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a
service of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), of the U.S. Department of
Commerce. 380 NWR stations are in
operation by the U.S. Government
in addition to several NWR stations
that are maintained by private
interest groups. The capability is to
supplement warnings by sirens and
by commercial radio and television.
The 10 National Weather Channels
provide full coverage to keep you
informed of weather conditions, 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
Weather Auto Scan
If active while in CB mode, will determine if the present
WX channel is active. If the present WX channel is not
active, will search for the strongest
WX channel and auto
change to that channel. Default is off. Go to Menu mode
to choose on/off (see page 30).
