 - the scanner alerts when it detects the 

1050 Hz tone that accompanies all weather alerts.

ALL FIPS

 - the scanner alerts and displays information 

about the weather alert when it receives any FIPS code 
(see “Programming a SAME Group” on Page 92).

SAME 1

-5 - the scanner alerts and displays information 

about the weather alert when it receives a weather alert 
signal that includes any FIPS code you have pro-
grammed into the specified SAME group.

You can edit any of the 5 SAME groups in your scanner. 
Each group can have up to 8 FIPS codes.

SAME (Specific Area Messaging System) is a system 
developed by the National Weather Service to reduce the 
number of alerts received by consumers by allowing them 
to hear alerts only for the county(ies) they are interested 
in. Each alert contains information about the type and 
severity of the alert, as well as the specific geographic 
locations affected by the alert.

The geographic locations are designated using FIPS 
codes. Each county or parrish in the US and its territories 
are assigned a FIPS code. In addition, certain special 
regions and wildcard settings can be assigned.

FIPS codes are in the format nSSCCC:

n: A special subcounty designator. For an entire county, 
use 0.

SS: The state code.

CCC: The county code.
