NOAA Weather Alert

The RM series radio is capable of monitoring
the NOAA frequency for any alerts issued by
the National Weather Service. When the
Weather Alert feature is enabled. the radio will
"mute" the daily weather radio. You can then
move the channel position to a standard 2 way
radio frequency and continue with normal
communication.

for a Warning Alarm Tone (WAT) from the
National Weather Service. If a WAT is
detected, the weather radio will "un-mute" and
the message being broadcasted will be heard
on the RM radio.
If the RM radio is tuned to a 2 way channel
(normal operation and weather alert feature
ON), the radio will "un-mute" and the message
being broadcasted will be heard when a WAT is
