WX Alert

Turning On the Weather Alert Feature

Turn on the WX alert function by pressing FUNC +
ALT in the WX search or WX search hold mode. ALT
appears. When the scanner receives a WX alert
signal while the WX alert function is on, it goes into
WX alert hold mode and generates a WX alert tone,
and ALT flashes. To stop the WX alert tone, press
any key. ALT disappears.

Chain Search

This feature lets you search through preset
frequency ranges. You can also change each range
to a range you set. There are three modes within
this feature: chain search mode, chain search hold
mode, and program band select mode.
