As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception depends on how close
you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Also, because
weather channels are transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise.
Note: The Talkabout T7200 Series two-way radios are designed to be two-way
radios primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The
radio uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert
receptions. Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in
two-way communication (either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you
do not miss a weather alert, leave the radio in the Weather Mode.

\ once, and
