*48*** (To enter the code, 048000: This scanner does not input the * in this
entering. Use 0 instead of *.)
This tells the radio to alert on any SAME message with a location code that
matches 48 for the state of Texas.
Your scanner also allows you to specify the event code. The default alert
code is ā***ā, which is best for most general purpose weather alert monitor-
ing purposes. A list of event codes can be found at this web site:
http://www.weather.gov/os/eas_codes.shtml
Each SAME location/event code storage location can be configured for En-
try ON/OFF and Lockout ON/OFF.
When a SAME location/event code storage location is set for Entry ON, the
radio will process the SAME location/event code that is stored there. When
a SAME location/event code storage location is set for Entry OFF, that SAME
location and event code will be ignored.
When a SAME location/event code storage location is set for Entry ON and
Lockout ON, the radio will process the SAME location/event code that is
stored there, and will lock out the specified event code. A SAME location/
event code storage location set for Entry: OFF and Lockout: ON will not be
processed, because Entry is set to OFF. In case of a conflict (i.e., two identi-
cal codes and events are entered, and one is locked out), the locked out
entry will take precedence.
SAME Entry Examples
Using the Dallas County, TX example above:
SAME Entry 1:
Code: 048113
Event: ***
Entry: ON
Lockout: OFF
SAME Entries 2-10:
Code: ******
Event: ***
Entry: OFF
Lockout: OFF
The above entry for 048113 will receive all SAME messages for 048113.
SAME Entry 1:
