WX Alert

[frankie811]

I just had a weather alert tone alert go off on 162.400 Mhz for a snow notice for CT, MA & RI. I never received this alert before. It was a LOUD tone. Did I have the WX channel looked out? The tone startled me.

I'm also receiving this on 162.475 MHZ. How do I shut this off? It's annoying.

How do I shut this off?

Since we don't know what type of radio you have, who knows?

DD it would have been the Snow Squall Warning - something the older Radios report as an UNKNOWN in the scrolling description

for the OP sounds like you have WX Alerts programmed

for the priority function,
To toggle Weather Alert Priority on or off press WX.

And on the x36, or SDS, it's "Function - 6".
