enabled when you press SCAN/MEM, the radio starts
checking the memory channels in ascending order. Then it
checks Channel 9 and 16 every 2 seconds and fi nally, it
checks the active weather channel approximately every 7
seconds, looking for the alert tone (1050Hz). The radio then
repeats the cycle. If the radio detects a weather alert tone
during the check cycle, it remains on the weather channel
until you disable the weather mode.
