PROGRAMMING FEATURES
The Weather Alert has two modes of
operations:
1. In Weather Channel Mode, the radio is in a
muted state until it detects the WAT/SAME.
When the radio detects the WAT, the radio
unmutes and allows the user to hear the
weather alert message.
2. In two-way mode (on two-way channel),
Weather Alert feature becomes a special scan
feature. The radio scans between the current
selected two-way channel and the selected
weather channel. When the radio detects WAT/
SAME signal on the weather channel, the radio

message. For Tone Alert, the radio stays in
receiving mode until weather signal is weak or
user presses the PTT button or changes the
