Weather Alert Scan (In the USA)

This feature allows you to check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels
for the presence of the NOAA Alert Tone while operating using VFO scan or
Memory channel scan.
When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the FT-4XR/XE will
check the Weather Broadcast Channels for activity every five seconds while
scanning. If you watch the display carefully, you'll observe the scanner
periodically shifting to the Weather Broadcast channel, scanning the Weather
channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after which regular scanning will
resume for another five seconds.

ON".
4. Press the PTT switch to save the setting and return to normal operation.

scanning.
Scanning starts and the display will remain on the

ceiver will scan the Weather Broadcast Channels
for activity.
