5. Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a
memorized channel, the transceiver will DUAL WATCH between this
channel and the priority channel.

and hold the SCAN key and turn the power back on. The “p” will

5.8 WEATHER ALERT
In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and
hurricanes, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
sends a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent
weather reports on the weather channels. The transceiver is capable of
receiving this alert if the following steps are performed:
1. Program weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for
scanning. Follow the same procedure as used for regular channels in
Section 5.6.
2. Press the SCAN key to start a scan.
3. The programmed weather channels are scanned along with the
regular programmed channels. However, the scan does not stop for
normal weather broadcast.
4. When an alert is received on a weather channel, scanning stops and
the transceiver enters the WEATHER ALERT MODE.
5. When the transceiver is in the WEATHER ALERT MODE, a loud
tone is sounded.
6. Press the WX key to stop the alert tone and receive the voice
information on the weather channel.
