HOME / TRAVEL MODE

When the unit is set to home mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the Channel settings.
When the unit is set to travel mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the setting. If the signal
strength is weak, the unit will switch to another channel
that has a good signal. The location will be set to "C0:All".
Therefore, in travel mode, you will not always receive
relevant NOAA alert messages, but it does mean that
you can receive warning information when you are
traveling outside your home area.
To switch between travel and home mode, press and
hold TR / HM.
