Skywarn

Many areas of the country have amateur radio repeaters that have been desig-

nated as “Skywarn” repeaters. During times of severe weather, these repeat-

ers are used to relay reports of severe weather directly to meteorologists at a

local National Weather Service (NWS) forecast office. Using the Skywarn fea-

ture in your scanner, you can easily jump to Skywarn repeater frequencies and

monitor these reports, in many cases hearing about severe weather in your

area instantly as it occurs.

This function lets you quickly move to the skywarn channels (Channel 200)

from any mode by pressing SKY/ . The scanner displays .

Note: To activate this function, you must program your desired Skywarn fre-

quency into the Skywarn channel.
