I cant for the life of me figure out how/why/what the heck this radio is doing with WX channels! There is only one setting for WX in the radio settings menu: Menu-Settings-Radio Set-Other Func-Weather Alarm, On or Off. If you program a wx freq in (162.475 for ex), the radio knows it is on the wx band and puts “wx” on the display next to the channel # it was saved into. If you set Weather Alarm to ON, and place the vfo/channel ontomthe wx channel, it puts the radio in standy mode waiting for a wx alert to be broadcast on that freq, if an alert comes on, the radio simply continues to play an alert tone until you press a key. But it never puts the radio into rx mode for that freq, unless you press the Monitor button/function. Now, if you turn the weather alarm setting off, and tune to the wx channel/freq, the radio rx’s and plays the wx broadcast, however, it breaks up every seconds if it is scanning/checking another “priority chnnel” for 1/4 second and returns to wx. Pressing and holding the monitor button on the wx chanel plays clear, full quieting un-interrupted wx broadcast, so it is not an rx issue, I’m very close to the wx station in my area.
So how do you just listen to a wx broadcast without scan/priority type breakups…? Anybody play with this on this ht? I searched bridgecoms support site but don’t see anything on it….
