Operating Your Radio
SAME Alert Codes
Your HH450 radio has the ability to alert you when NOAA sends out
alerts from their Emergency Alert System (EAS). These alerts cover
any weather related watches, warnings or statements. Using this
system insures that you will always be aware of your local Weather,
Civil, and National emergency events.
For a complete list of all the event codes your radio is capable of
displaying, please go to the following web address:

WX Auto Seatch (SCAN)
WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function
The purpose of the WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is to enable the receiver to
automatically scan for an active WX channel under the following conditions:
1. WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is On.
2. WX Alert is On.
3.
The radio is tuned to a Marine or GMRS channel and has entered
Power Save mode (meaning there is no signal activity or user
input for 10 seconds).
4. The radio software has detected that the current WX channel
signal level has dropped below a preset minimum level or is
gone completely.
Once these conditions have been met, the software will then scan the Weather channels
looking for an active Weather channel. When an active Weather channel is found it will
stop the scan and use the new Weather channel to look for the standard 1050Hz alert
tone.
