Receiving a SAME ALERT
If SAME ALERT is ON and an NWR or EAS alert for your geographic
area is broadcast, the RS90 detects the alert signal and sounds the
alarm.
Press any key to cancel the alarm.
•
If the alert is being sent by NOAA NWR, the radio automatically
tunes to the designated frequency so that you can listen to the
alert.
•
If the alert is being sent by the EAS, the nature of the alert is shown
on screen as WARNING, WATCH, ADVISORY, or TEST.
Press any key to show the nature of the alert.
¼ Note:
The list of alerts is shown in "Appendix 5 - Beep tones and
call alerts" on page 105.
Receiving SAME TEST messages
In addition to the WARNING, WATCH and ADVISORY alerts, the
EAS also send out TEST messages so that you can check that your
WX ALERT setup is working correctly. The TEST message is usually
transmitted between 1000 and 1200 (10.00AM and noon) every
Wednesday.
If your WX ALERT setup is working correctly, the alert sounds and
TEST is displayed on screen, followed by a broadcast message
from the National Weather Service.
¼ Note:
If there is a threat of severe weather, the test will be
postponed until the next fine weather day.
