Skywarn
Skywarn is an organized group of trained
weather observers. Using Skywarn, you can
hear trained observers in your area call in
official reports to a control station that relays
those reports to NOAA and other emergency
agencies.
Before using this feature, save local Skywarn
frequencies for your area into Channel 999.
To use Skywarn:
Hold the Skywarn button ( ).
“SKY”
appears.
If the skywarn channel is empty,
“Not
programmed”
appears.
