11. Weather Mode
Virtually all areas of the US and many
areas around the world are covered by
VHF weather reports on one of 10 chan-
nels. These reports provide current condi-
tions, forecasts, and warnings of danger-
ous weather 24 hours per day.
Press and release the WX/ALERT key to
toggle between Weather and Marine
Modes. In Weather Mode the Radio
Status Display will show WX MODE for
three seconds and the WX indicator will
be shown. (Fig. 11a) When switching
back to Marine Mode, the Radio Status
Display will show USA MODE or INT
MODE or CAN MODE for three sec-
onds. (Fig. 11b)
• While in Weather Mode, use the ▲ or
▼ keys to select from ten weather
channels. Most areas of the US are
covered by Weather Channels 01, 02,
and 03. The Radio Status Display
will verify which channel you’ve
selected (WEATHER1) as you
change channels.
• If you press the 16/9/TRI key while
in weather Mode, the radio will
change from the current weather
channel to Channel 16, then to
Channel 9, and then back to the
weather channel. The WX indicator
will flash, indicating that you are still
in weather Mode, while listening to
Channels 16 and 9.
• While in Weather Mode, the MEM,
UIC, SCAN, H/L keys will not work.
If they are pressed , the radio will
sound an error tone.
