and the scanner sounds an alert tone

(see “Displaying Weather Messages” on Page 38).

Notes:

• Priority WX is only for receiving a weather alert.

• When the scanner detects a 1050 Hz alert tone, pri-

ority WX activates and you receive a weather alert.

• If you program a weather frequency into the priority

channel and the scanner detects a weather alert
tone on that frequency, the scanner sounds the alert
tone.

CHANGING THE RECEIVE MODE

The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM re-
ceive mode for each frequency range. The preset mode
is correct in most cases. However, some amateur radio
transmissions and trunked systems do not operate in the
preset mode. If you try to listen to a transmission when
the scanner is not set to the correct receive mode, the
transmission might sound weak or distorted.

If you want to listen to trunking transmissions in closed
mode, you might have to change the receive mode.

To change the receive mode, repeatedly press
