weather alert signals
In 1994, the National Oceanic and
Aerospace Administration (NOAA) began
broadcasting alerts that include digitally
encoded data. Specifi c Area Message
Encoding (SAME) includes information
which identifi es the severity of the alert.
While this scanner does not encode
specifi c geographical data, it does detect
SAME signals and decode the alert level.
The scanner displays this data as codes
corresponding to the levels of severity (L1,
L2, and L3).
