This is where you get the code for your area :http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm If you have already programmed your code, then this is how to listen: http://myweb.cableone.net/marksscanners/996/996.html#same alerts
I see. I assumed it would run in parallel with any active scanning. I picked up a dedicated WX SAME radio on ebay.n2mdk said:The radio checks the WX channel every 5 sec, so the tuner has to switch frequency. The scanner has only one tuner therefore every 5 sec it will cut out. For the SAME Weather Alert to function the scanner has to set on standby like Fire Tone Out so the radio can't scan at all.
