Weather Modes
The PRO-18 is also a sophisticated and powerful NOAA weather radio receiver. You can monitor 24
hour NOAA weather radio broadcasts anytime, and, you can use the PRO-18 as a weather priority
receiver while scanning to alert you to severe weather broadcasts as they occur, or you can activate
Dedicated SAME Weather Alert Receiver mode, where your PRO-18 remains quiet until a warning for
the specific geographic area(s) you define is received.
Note: Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is an extremely sensitive high
quality receiver on the weather frequencies. However, the included flex antenna is optimized for
general purpose scanning. If you use this scanner as your only means for receiving weather alerts,
please check to be sure you are receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or switch to an external
antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather broadcast.
