Weather Channel - Uniden BC 248CLT Reference Manual

Weather Channel

The BC248CLT allows you to search from 7 pre-programmed NOAA channels for your local
NOAA weather channel.
Press WX/ALERT to find the active weather
channel in your area. WX icon appears in the
display. It is possible that your area is covered by
more than one weather station.
All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts. Once the
Weather Scan stops on a transmission, it remains on that channel.
Weather Scan does not resume automatically. You must press
WX/ALERT again to resume weather scanning.
When you press WX/ALERT, the BC244CLT immediately finds an active broadcast. If the
broadcast sounds weak and distant, press SCAN to look for a closer station.
In some parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor weather
broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas. Normally a higher location
improves the reception.
To exit Weather Channel Scan mode, press
SCANNER, RADIO AM/FM or OFF.
Do not program a weather frequency into one of the 50 channels.
Because weather channels transmit continuously, the scanner remains
on that channel, disrupting the scanning cycle. The Weather Scan
feature is provided specifically to avoid this occurrence.
