Weather Broadcast Reception (Usa Version Only); Severe Weather Alert Feature - Yaesu FTM-7250DR Operating Manual

Weather Broadcast Reception (USA version only)

The FTM-7250DR includes a unique feature which allows reception of weather broad-
casts in the 160 MHz frequency range. Ten standard Weather Broadcast channels are
preloaded into a special memory bank.
To listen to a Weather Broadcast Channel (Example: When "WX CH" is assigned to [ P4 ] ):
1. Press the Microphone [ P4 ] key to recall the Weather
Broadcast channels.
Note: In the USA model, the [ P4 ] key one of the pro-
grammable keys, is assigned (default setting)
as the "WX Broad-cast" one-touch access key.
Please note that if you change/assign another
function to the [ P4 ] key, one-touch access to
the WX channel will be unavailable.
2. Turn the DIAL knob to select the desired Weather Broadcast channel.
3. To scan the other channels for activity, press the Microphone PTT switch.
4. To exit to normal operation, press the [ P4 ] key again. Operation will return to the VFO
or Memory channel in operation before you began Weather Broadcast operation.

Severe Weather Alert Feature

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA (the
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.
You may enable this feature via Setup Menu Item "WX ALERT 53" (USA version only).
