Weather Alert Scan
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-600R will check the Weather
Broadcast Memory 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
bank, scanning the Weather channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after which regular
scanning will resume for another five seconds.
To enable the Weather Alert Scan feature:
1.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [%(0)SET] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 56: WX ALT.
3.
Press the [F/W] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4.
Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select "ALT. ON."
5.
When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the setting and exit to
normal operation.
6.
To disable the Weather Alert Scan feature, select "ALT.OFF" in step 4 above.
R.F. Says: 1) When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the Scan-Resume mode is
fixed to "TIME."
2) If you are just scanning the Weather Broadcast Channels, the VX-120/170's receiver will
remain muted indefinitely unless the Alert Tone is received. This yields a long period of
monitoring time, as no power will be consumed via audio output while scanning for the Alert
Tone is in progress.
