The transceiver will go to the last selected weather channel.

weather channel.
3. To exit from the weather channels, press the WX key. The

5.7 NOAA WEATHER ALERT

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 subsequent
weather report on one of the weather channels. The transceiver is capable
of receiving this alert if the following is performed:
1. Program weather channels into the transceiver's memory for
scanning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under
Section 5.8.
2. Press the SCAN key once to start memory scanning or hold down
the SCAN key during memory scanning to start priority scanning.
3. The programmed weather channels will be scanned along with the
regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on
a normal weather broadcast unless a NOAA alert is received.
4. When an alert is received on a weather channel, scanning will stop
and the transceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the user of a NOAA
broadcast.
5. Press the WX key to stop the alert tone and receive the weather
report.
If the WX key is not pressed the alert tone will be emitted for 5 minutes
and then the weather report will be received.
