D Weather alert function
A NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone
before any important weather announcements. When the
weather alert function is turned ON, any detected weather
alert will make the IC-M73 activate a blinking "WXALT" alert
indicator on the function display and repeatedly sound a
beep tone. The blinking and beeping stops when the radio
is picked up and operated. The previously selected weather
channel is checked any time during standby, or while scan-
ning, when the power save function is activated.
• "ALT" appears when the function is set ON.
