NOAA All Hazards/Weather Radio and Alert, w/SAME
•
NOAA broadcasts weather information as described in the
NOAA Weather Channels section on page 25 of this manual.
Listen to one of these receive-only channels at any time. The
transceiver also incorporates “Specific Area Message
Encoding (SAME)” and “Emergency Alert System Codes” sent
by NOAA. These codes provide the type of alert, and are listed
on page 51.
