6 MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS

6.1 Selecting Weather Watch

The Weather Watch function enables the radio to monitor a single

Weather channel speciﬁed in the Memory Scan select function

(see section 3.1.4). A transmission on a Weather channel is pre-

ceded by a tone – if this is detected by the radio, it will sound an

alert allowing the user to switch to the Weather channel.

To enable Weather Watch, press S

HIFT followed by the USER

(WX WATCH) key. The “WX” legend will appear in the top left-

hand corner of the display and the selected Weather channel will

be shown on the bottom line of the display (Fig 6.1).

Note

If no Weather channel has been speciﬁed, the display will show

“NO WX CHAN SELECTED” and Weather Watch will not be

enabled. (Refer to section 3.1.4 to select a Weather channel.)

Note If the Weather Watch function is not available (for example, if

no Weather channels are programmed into the radio), the dis-

play will show “WX NOT ENABLED”.

To cancel Weather Watch, press S

HIFT followed by the USER

(WX WATCH) key.

6.1.1 Weather Watch Alert

If a Weather Alert tone is detected by the radio on the speciﬁed

Weather channel while Weather Watch is enabled, the radio will

sound a 10-second alarm and the display will show “WEATHER

ALERT”. Press O

K to cancel the alarm and switch to the

Weather channel, or ON/C to cancel the alarm and ignore the

Weather Alert.

Note Because Weather channels transmit a continuous carrier signal,

it is not possible for the RS86/RS87 to detect when the trans-

mission has ended.

Press O

N/C to return to the working channel once the transmis-

sion has ended.
