8.6.1 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 GX1300 can receive weather alerts when on a weather channel and on
the last selected weather channel during scanning modes or while on anoth-
er 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. Press any key to stop the alert and
receive the weather report.
To disable the weather alert function, refer to section "10.2.2 Weather
Alert".
