ble keys, is assigned (default setting)
as the "WX Broadcast" one-touch

Weather Broadcast channel.

Severe Weather Alert Feature

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA (the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather alert accompanied
by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA weather chan-
nels. You may enable this feature via Setup Menu Item "50 WX ALERT" see page 34
for details.
