FIPS codes are formatted as follows:
Subdivisions State Code County Code
0-9
(0=entire area)
01-50
(00=all states)
XXX
(000=all counties)
Example: 048439
(0=All; 48=Texas; 439=Tarrant County)
In addition to the code for your location, you may
wish to enter additional codes for surrounding
areas and any other areas of interest so that
you can receive advance warning of adverse or
dangerous weather that may be headed in your
direction.
Your scanner also has a SAME wildcard feature,
which allows you to set the radio to alarm on
partial matches of the location code.
To enter SAME Location and Event Codes
1. Press
WX to enter Weather mode.
2. Press the SAME softkey to add or edit SAME
entries.
3. Press S or T to scroll to the desired SAME
code entry.
4. Press SEL to edit the selected SAME entry.
5. With the Entry: field selected, press X to
turn the entry on.
Note: When a SAME location/event code storage
location is set for Entry ON, the radio will
process the SAME location and event code that
is stored there. When a storage location is set for
Entry OFF, that SAME location and event code
will be ignored.
6. Scroll to
Code: and press X to enter a SAME
location code.
7. Press the number keys to enter a SAME code.
Note: The PRO-106 supports entry of Extended
SAME codes, which can include numbers and
letters. The text entry mode is used to enter both
numerical SAME codes and extended SAME
codes. To enter a numerical SAME code, simply
precede each number in the SAME code with
“1.” For example, to enter SAME code 048113,
press 10 14 18 11 11 13.
8. Scroll to the Event: field. Note the current
default of ***, which will allow all messages
for the specified SAME location code. We
recommend that you leave the event code
with *** to receive all alerts. A list of event
codes can be found at www.weather.gov.
9. Scroll to Tag: and press X.
10. Input a tag name that corresponds with the
SAME location code that you have entered.
See “Appendix C: Text Entry and QuickText”Appendix C: Text Entry and QuickText” on

11. Scroll to Alarm:. You can specify different
alarm sounds for this SAME entry. We
recommend that you use the default setting
here for general purpose weather alerting.
12. Scroll to Lockout:. Default is off. Lockout is
a special purpose parameter that can be used
to lock out individual event or area codes. We
recommend that you leave Lockout set to
off for general purpose weather alerting.
13. When you have finished editing your SAME
entry, press the Save softkey to store the
data.
14. Press the
Save softkey again to save all
SAME changes and return to the Weather
mode.
