SKIPPING DATA SIGNALS
To prevent the scanner from stopping on channels that
consist of nonmodulated or data signals (such as fax or
modem transmissions) during a search or scan, turn on
the data skip feature. When the radio receives a data
signal and data skip is selected, the signal is ignored.
To turn on the data skip feature, turn off the priority fea-
ture if it is on (see “Priority” on Page 34), then press
DA-
TA
.

appears. To turn off the data skip feature,
press
DATA
again.
DATA
disappears.
Note:
This feature does not apply to the air service
band as data signals are not generally found in this ser-
vice.
RECEIVING NWR-SAME AND
WEATHER ALERT SIGNALS
In 1994, the National Oceanic and Aerospace Adminis-
tration (NOAA) began broadcasting alerts that include
digitally encoded data.
Specific Area Message Encod-
ing
(SAME) includes information which identifies the se-
verity of the alert. The PRO-94 displays this data as
codes corresponding to the levels of severity (L1, L2,
and L3).
Turning On the SAME
Weather Alert Feature
1. Press
SVC (E)
and select the weather search
mode. See “Service Bank Search” on Page 29.
2. Press
ALT (DATA)
. This mutes the audio until the
scanner receives a SAME coded signal.
