The first digit, 0, indicates that the geographical area consists of
the entire county. The SAME specification can use the first digit
to define a sub-area within a county, but this is generally not
used.
The second two digits, 48, indicate the state is Texas.
The last three digits, 113, indicate that the County is Dallas.
The EZ Scan-SD allows you to enter all or part of the FIPS code,
and supports the use of the 0 (zero) character as a wildcard. For
example, if you wanted to receive alerts for any location in Texas
(provided that they are transmitted by the local NOAA
transmitter), you can enter 048000 in the FIPS field. For now, just
follow the on-screen instructions to enter the entire FIPS code for
Dallas County (048113) and return to the Weather menu.
Scroll down to the SAME 1 Enable parameter. Use the  key to
toggle the Enabled status for the SAME 1 location.
Repeat the above process to enter additional SAME information
for other areas if desired. When finished, press the MENU key
and follow the on-screen instructions to save changes and exit.

match the locations you have programmed. If a matching alert is
detected, the EZ Scan-SD will sound an alarm, display the type
of alert on its LCD screen and monitor the alert message.

Skywarn

The EZ Scan-SDʼs Skywarn Scanlist is useful for storing objects
that may be useful to monitor during times of severe weather,
such as amateur radio repeaters used to provide Skywarn storm
spotter reports to local National Weather Service offices. By
monitoring Skywarn repeaters, youʼll hear about severe weather
conditions before they are reported by local radio and television
media. The Skywarn Scanlist works like any other the EZ Scan-
SD Scanlist. It can be enabled and disabled for scanning along
with the 50 regular Scanlists. The Skywarn Scanlist can also be
accessed quickly by pressing the
