Weather Scanning
Note: The weather alert feature is an extremely
sensitive, high quality receiver of weather
frequencies. However, the included flex antenna
is optimized for general purpose scanning. If you
use this scanner as your only means for receiving
weather alerts, please check to be sure you are
receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or
switch to an external antenna that gives you clear
reception of a local NOAA weather broadcast.
Weather Radio Mode
Weather radio mode allows you to receive weather
broadcasts from your local weather service.
To use weather radio mode:
1. Press WX.
The scanner will quickly scan and lock on
to the first active weather radio frequency it
receives.
2. Press p or q to look for other weather radio
transmitters.
It is generally best to select the weather
radio transmitter that provides you with the
strongest signal. You can use the signal meter
to help you chose the best weather radio
transmitter for your area.
While operating in Weather Radio Mode,
your scanner will alert on SAME messages
that match the SAME location codes you
have entered, or all SAME messages if you do
not enter any SAME location codes.
