Weather alert
An NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone be-
fore important weather information. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then
flashes the "WX ALT" indicator until the transceiver is oper-
ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is
checked any time during standby or while scanning.
• "WX ALT" appears instead of "WEATHER" indication when the func-
tion is set ON.
Priority scan
