8.7.1 NOAA Weather Alert

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurri-
canes, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends
a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather
report on one of the NOAA weather channels.
The GX1700 can receive weather alerts when on a weather channel and on
the last selected weather channel during scaning modes or while on another
channel.
When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel, scanning will stop
and the transceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the
user of a NOAA broadcast. Pess any key to stop the
alert and receive the weather report. Press the
key to return to the last selected channel.
To disable the Weather Alert function, refer to section "11.6 WEATHER
