I Have a Radio Shack Pro 106 and Pro 197.
I recently reprogrammed both with new frequencies using Radio Reference data base and the4 ARC500 software.
Everything is working great-except I no longer receive the weekly messages from the National Weather service checking the warning system.
Any ideas what I may have changed to eliminate these?
I can still reecieve weather warnings by using the WX buttons on the scanners.
Thanks-Frank

Can not say about ARC500 but in WIN500 under the WEATHER SETTINGS, I have the SAME Entries ENABLED and Weather Priority set to the local weather station

If you SAME enabled but have not programmed codes or have incorrect codes for your area you won't get any tests or alerts. It's important to use the SAME code for your county and monitor a stations that serves that county.
If not programmed to respond to weekly tests, code RWT, it won't.

Working Again-Thanks

It's working again-Thanks!
I had neglected to set the SAME settings, and the priority settings when I reprogrammed the scanner. Still working on the learning curve for the software.
Again-Thanks!
