Severe Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as severe thunderstorms and hurricanes,
the NOAA (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.
See page 39 for details regarding activation of this mode.
The VX-120/170 allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or
a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on
that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin, take
a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it
halts on a signal.
