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 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

The unit will continually scan all 10 WX channels for

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
