HX600S Page 21
6.4.2 SPECIFIC AREA MESSAGE ENCODING (SAME)
In addition to the NOAA Weather Alert, the HX600S is able to receive and
display NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) SAME Messages. NOAA SAME broad-
casts include warnings and post-event information for all types of hazards -
including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such
as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts
or 911 Telephone outages).
NOTE:NOAA Weather Radio service to a county depends on reliable signal
reception, which typically extends in about a 40-mile radius from the trans-
mitter, assuming level terrain. Some counties or parts of counties that are in
mountainous areas and are listed as having NWR coverage may not have
reliable reception in some locations due to signal blockages and/or exces-
sive distance from the transmitter.
