If I `disremembers prezactly, I think', because it's been a while since I've had to do it all you have to do is just enter the ALPHA CODE for what ever event code you want it to trigger on. eg: HWA, TOR, or SVR Of course you'll have to enable the weather and either put up with the priority `glitches' when you are scanning or just make your scanner a very expensive Weather Radio by using the weather function full time. Since good dedicated Weather Radios are available for fairly decent prices these days I haven't bothered using my scanner as one for quite a while.
