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/PA button in the WX mode. You
will then be able to hear the Weather Warning
Broadcast.
Your 29 LX 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

activate WX mode on the channel with the tone.
Default state is Off. Go to Menu mode to choose
On/Off (see page 22):
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 sta-
tions 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 sup-
plement warnings by sirens and
by commercial radio and televi-
sion.
The 10 National Weather
Channels provide full cover-
age to keep you informed of
weather conditions, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
Weather Auto Scan
If active while in CB or PA mode, will determine
if the present WX channel is active. If the present
WX channel is not active, will search for the stron-
gest WX channel and auto change to that channel.
Default is off. Go to Menu mode to choose on/off
(see page 22).
