What You Should Know About Weather

If threatening weather is nearby,the National

Weather Service may broadcast a 10 second alert

tone.This tone will be heard through the CB,even

if the CB/WX Switch is in the CB mode or the unit

is turned off.

This enables you to monitor CB frequencies and

still be warned by the National Weather Service

Emergency Alert.When you hear the alert,place

the CB/WX switch in the WX position. You will

then be able to hear the Weather Warning

Broadcast.

You can completely disable the Emergency

Weather Alert feature by turning the Weather

Channel Selector to the off position.

Your 25 WX NW ST has a special auto squelch cir-

cuit for weather transmission which disables your

squelch control.

If you are using the CB mode,remember to

change the CB/WX Switch from CB toWX every so

often to make sure you are continually tuned to

the clearest/closest weather band channel in case

an alert is broadcast.
