WEATHER EAGLE® 105 and 110

NOAA All Hazards Radio Scanner, Recorder and

Communications Interface

Instruction Manual

Note: The WE110 is an improved version of the WE105. Most of the

features of both units are the same. Differences will be noted herein.

The primary differences are a smaller footprint (approx. 6” x 4.75” vs. 7” x

6”) to make the unit more acceptable to mobile applications, and a different

1050 Hz tone detection circuit with improved characteristics to filter out

white noise when the NWR station goes off the air. The latest firmware

upgrade should have most of the same features for each unit.
