Same tests what did I do wrong?

[Wahoos4Life]

I did not here any same tests yesterday between 11-12

I programed the same code into my radio for the local WX station

and put my 106 on STBY. during that hour. while having my other radio on normal WX mode

and all I herd on my other scanner was tests well be done between 11-12pm wed. blah blah blah

but never herd anything on my 106

do they only do the test once in that hour at the begingin of the hour?

on your 106,first off put it in the local weather and then push function then WX,it should go into wx standby mode,it won't decode same codes if your scanning,when you scan in wx priority mode and the 106 gets a weather alert it will display weather alert?.
I hope this helps a little!!!!................73's Brian

Hope someone can help me. I have 2 weather radios, one is a Midland and one is a oregon Scientific. I use to get my alerts all the time now the problem is sometimes I get alerts and sometimes I don't. Same with the test's on Wednesday mornings. I have taken them in different rooms of the house with still the same results. Sometimes one of the radios would go off for an alert when the other one doesn't. I have the right same code in for our area which is Northern Colorado 008069, with the Freq. set on 162.475 That's the most clear freq.. So if anyone could give me hints to try or if am doing something wrong, please let me know...Thanks in advance.

Check that you get good reception by listening to the broadcasts. If the signal is breaking up or has lots of static, your radio won't reliably decode the SAME tones. If so and your radio has an external antenna connector, you might try that. Look at this site NOAA Weather Radio and verify which station covers your area.

try an outdoor antenna,i had the same problem,the radio won't decode the same message if it's static.
