the specified weather frequency periodically for the 1050 Hz
Warning Alert Tone (WAT). If WAT is found, the radio will sound
an alarm and monitor the weather alert audio.

SAME Standby Mode

SAME Standby Mode monitors the specified weather frequency
silently, waiting to receive a Specific Area Message Encoding
(SAME) alert that corresponds with a SAME location code that
you have previously entered. If there is a match between a sent
SAME location code and one that you have previously stored,
the scanner will sound an alarm, display the alert type, and
monitor the nature of the alert.
To activate SAME Standby Mode, first you should provide at
least one SAME location code for your city, county or state. By
default, SAME mode will alert on any SAME message received if
no SAME location codes are entered. A list of SAME location
codes can be found online at this web site:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm#sametable
In addition to the code for your location, you may wish to enter
additional codes for surrounding areas and any other areas of
interest so that you can receive advance warning of adverse or
dangerous weather that may be headed in your direction.
Unlike other weather alert radios, your scanner features a
powerful SAME wildcard feature that allows you to set the radio
to alarm on partial matches of the location code. For example,
the SAME location code for Dallas, TX is 048113, which can be
broken down as follows:
0 represents a subdivision within a county, and is typically not
used.
48 is the State code for Texas
113 is the County code for Dallas County
Entering the entire 048113 code will cause the radio to receive all
SAME alerts that match the code for Dallas County.
