NOAA All Hazards/Weather
Radio and Alert
Operating Your Radio VHF Marine Radio Protocols
When NOAA broadcasts a weather alert signal and your radio is in WX Alert Standby
mode, the following items will be displayed on the LCD display:
The WX icon (cloud/sun) icon will be displayed.
■
The last used weather channel will be displayed.
■
The bar graph will display received signal strength level.
■
The WX Alert icon (safety triangle) will be displayed.
■
NOTE
Only one (1) or two (2) of the weather channels will be operating in any
given location (only in Receive (Rx) mode). You will need to select the
channel with the strongest signal in your location.
NOTE
When in the WX Alert mode, and NOAA sends the 1050Hz alert tone,
the radio will sound a series of loud beeps regardless of the volume
control setting.
WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function:
WX Auto Search (SCAN)
The purpose of the WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is to
enable the receiver to automatically scan for Weather Alerts
on all ten (10) WX channels while the radio is in Marine
Standby status. This allows use of the communication
functions of the radio without missing a Weather Alert when:
WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is On.
■
WX Alert is On.
■
The radio is tuned to a Marine VHF channel and
■
has entered Power Save mode (meaning there
is no signal activity or user input for 10 seconds).
■ The radio software has detected that the current
WX channel signal level has dropped below
a preset minimum level or is gone completely.
Under these conditions, the software will scan the
WX channels looking for an active WX channel.
When an active WX channel is found, it will stop
the scan and use the new WX channel to look for
the standard 1050Hz alert tone.
