I have a 996P2 and when I push the wx button to listen to weather it will transmit for 2 seconds then check for another frequency, Will not lock on the frequency for my area. any suggestions?

loss of signal will do that.
what is the squelch set at ?
if too high a little loss of signal will do the same thing.

oh, make sure the DELAY is set for 2 and not -2.
negative 2 will stay on the channel and then scan after 2 seconds no matter what.
kind of like a sound sample.
another thing to try is hit HOLD, type in the NOAA FREQ, hit HOLD.
that is the quick way to listen to a frequency.
if it stops receiving then it is signal loss.

Also, sometimes WX stations go off air for repairs, updates or whatever.
