9.8.1 NOAA Weather Alert (USA version only)

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes,
the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and transmits a subsequent weather
report on one of the NOAA weather channels.
The GX1400GPS and GX1400 can receive weather alerts when monitoring a
weather channel and, on the last selected weather channel during scanning
modes or while on another working channel.
To enable the weather alert function, refer to section "11.2.2 Weather Alert
(USA version only)".
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 broad-
cast. Press any key to stop the alert. After stopping the
beep sound, the weather alert reception confirmation
screen will appear. Press [OK] to display a confirmation screen. The confirma-
tion screen will ask you whether to move to the weather channel or return in
the marine channel. Press [YES] to switch to the weather channel, and press
[NO] to return to the marine channel.
If no key is pressed the alert will sound for 5 minutes and then the
weather report will be received.

9.8.2 NOAA Weather Alert Testing

the NOAA weather feature, on Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM, setup as in
