11 MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS

11.1 Selecting Weather Watch

The Weather Watch function enables the radio to monitor a sin-

gle weather channel speciﬁed in the memory scan select function

(section 8.1.4). A transmission on a Weather channel is preceded

by a tone – if this is detected by the radio, it will trigger an alert

allowing the user to switch to the Weather channel.

To enable Weather Watch, press S

HIFT followed by the USER

(WX WATCH) key. The “WX” legend will be shown in the top

left-hand corner of the display and the selected weather chan-

nel will be shown on the bottom line of the display (Fig 11.1).

NOTE If a Weather channel has not been speciﬁed, the display will

show “NO WX CHAN SELECTED” and Weather Watch will

not be enabled (please refer to section 8.1.4 for instructions on

how to select a Weather channel).

NOTE If the Weather Watch function is not available (e.g. if no

Weather channels are programmed into the radio), the display

will show “WX NOT ENABLED”.

To cancel Weather Watch, press S

HIFT then USER (WX WATCH).

11.1.1 Weather Watch alert

If a Weather Watch alert tone is detected by the radio on the

speciﬁed Weather channel, the radio will sound a 10-second

alarm and the display will show “WEATHER ALERT”.

Press O

K to cancel the alarm and switch to the Weather chan-

nel, or O

N/C to cancel the alarm and ignore the weather alert.

NOTE Because the Weather channels transmit a continuous carrier

signal, it is not possible for the RS82 to detect when the trans-

mission has ended.

Press O

N/C to return to the working channel once the trans-

mission has ended.
