Weather Scanning
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.
