Yet another PRO-95 question.

[tablitch]

OK, I've got everything set up, and then I go and ruin it. I think.

I had my weather channel set up to receive the SAME code in case of a warning. I thought. It went off like it's supposed to, but as I was playing around with the web, I came across the NWS site that gives the specific SAME code for my county. I got thinking, I don't really care about storms 2 counties over, so I thought about making sure that just my county code is programmed.

The manual says to decode SAME messages, press func, wx while listening to the wx freq. I did, but to get out of that screen, you have to hit func, wx again.

Can the 95 only decode same messages WHILE tuned to wx?
I have wx set as my priority channel, so it will sound off anytime it hears a warning from NOAA.

Or is the idea to hear the alert beep, tune to wx, then activate SAME decoding for the duration of the storm?

thanks,
ducati

Yes

It doesn't exactly decode SAME. You can't put a SAME code into it. At least I've never saw how to. I think you can only do this with the Unidens. You can moniter for weather alerts by putting the weather freq on priority or by putting it in the standby mode.

Yup you cant put the SAME code into it. See the side note on pg 41 of the manual. It will however receive the alert tones if you have the weather channel set as a priority. The only way to get the SAME messages is if you are in weather standby mode.

I think you can only do this with the Unidens.

You can enter the SAME code on the PRO96.
