Weather alert function
An NOAA broadcast station transmits weather alert tone be-
fore important weather announcements. When the weather
alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is
monitored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert
signal is detected, the “ALt” and the WX channel are dis-
played alternately and sounds a beep tone until the trans-
ceiver controls are manipulated. The previously selected
weather channel is checked periodically during standby or
while scanning.
