WX Weather Symbols and Product Age
The broadcast rate represents the interval at which XM WX Satellite Radio
broadcasts new signals that may or may not contain new weather data. It does
not represent the rate at which weather data is updated or new content is received
by the Data Link Receiver. Weather data is updated at intervals that are defined
and controlled by XM WX Satellite Radio and its data vendors. The product label
in the legend will turn yellow at half the expiration time and grey when expired.
Expired products will not be shown on the display.
