      If your Uniden Two-Way Radio won’t transmit, ensure you are not in weather or scan mode. Verify you are not trying to transmit on a receive-only channel and that you're using the correct power level for the channel. Also, make sure that each transmission is less than 5 minutes.

    Why is my Uniden MHS450 getting all hazard alerts?
    • T
      Thomas GarciaAug 20, 2025
      If you are getting all hazard alerts, not just the ones for your area on your Uniden Two-Way Radio, check that the FIPS codes in your radio were entered correctly. The Weather Alert Watch may catch a hazard alert in the middle of the broadcast and miss which FIPS codes are affected, triggering the alert tone and switching to the weather channel.
