"SAME standby mode
The National Weather Service precedes each weather alert
with a digitally encoded SAME (Specific Area Message
Encoding) signal, then a 1050 Hz tone. The SAME signal
includes a FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard)
area code, and an event code that corresponds with the
type of alert being sent. You can confi gure your scanner to
operate in SAME Standby mode, where it monitors a selected
weather radio station for SAME alerts for areas you specify.
You can program your scanner with up to 10 FIPS codes for
the areas you desire. The National Weather Service maintains
a current list of FIPS codes at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.
To configure your scanner for SAME Standby mode, follow
these steps:
1. Press WX until you identify the weather station with the
strongest signal for your location.
2. Press FUNC, and then PGM to access the FIPS code entry
table.
3. Use the e or d keys to select the desired FIPS code
storage location.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired FIPS code,
and then press ENT to store the code. Press TEXT to label
the code entry with an alphanumeric text table if desired.
Repeat this process for all the FIPS codes that you wish to
store.
5. Press L/OUT to lock out or enable specifi c FIPS entries.
6. Press WX to exit the FIPS code entry table.
Press WX then a number key to quickly review stored FIPS
codes. Press L/OUT to toggle lockout status.
Your scanner can also detect the 1050 Hz weather alert
tone when a weather channel is set as the priority
channel and weather priority operation is enabled. (see
“Priority”). In this mode all alerts are received. FIPS
settings are ignored.
The scanner sounds an alert or beep when it receives the
SAME code. If you do not stop the alert (or beep) for fi ve
minutes, the alert stops and the scanner beeps every ten
seconds. If the scanner receives a new message after fi ve
minutes, it sounds the alert or beep. To stop the sound
and ready the scanner to receive a new alert signal before
the fi ve minute time out, press any key except .
7. Press FUNC, and then WX to initiate SAME standby. The
scanner will monitor the selected weather radio station for
alerts with FIPS codes that match the codes you entered
in the FIPS entry table. To exit SAME standby, press FUNC,
and then WX."
