SELECTING YOUR LOCAL NOAA
WEATHER FREQUENCY
VHF models of the JMX “D-Series”
radio can hear weather forecasts
from the National Weather Service
which are broadcast on one of the seven NOAA
weather frequencies.
The radio is shipped from the factory without a
NOAA frequency selected. Before using any of
the NOAA weather features on your VHF radio
you must first select the local NOAA frequency.
1. Follow the steps in FIG-4 at right to place the
radio into the Weather Frequency Select
mode.
2. The radio will scan to the 1st NOAA
frequency where a broadcast is present. The
display will light a single segment to indicate
the NOAA frequency per FIG-5.
3. Monitor the channel for a few minutes to be
sure it is the broadcast for your local area.
4. Press the Channel button to scan for the
presence of any other NOAA broadcasts,
monitoring each broadcast and noting the
frequency as indicated by the display.
5. Using the Channel button, select the local
NQAA frequency you would like your radio to
operate on.
6. Turn the radio off by pressing the Volume
Down / Off button.
7. When the radio is turned back on all weather
features will operate on the selected NOAA
frequency.
NOAA WEATHER CHANNEL
Once a NOAA weather frequency has been
selected on your VHF model radio, a
channel is created for listening to National
Weather Service broadcasts.
Press the Channel button to step through
your radio channels. The NOAA Weather
Channel will be after your last channel, and
the display will light the segment
representing the selected NOAA frequency.
If you wish to exclude the NOAA Weather
Channel feature, it can be turned off through
Field Programming.
WEATHER ALERT
Once a NOAA weather frequency has been
selected on your VHF model radio it will
listen for emergency broadcasts from the
National Weather Service, regardless of
which channel you are on.
An alert tone will sound in the
speaker, the display will show
an “A” (as shown), and the
National Weather Service
emergency broadcast will be
heard - advising you of threatening weather
conditions.
NOTE: NOAA sends a test alert tone once
each week. Your radio will respond
to this alert.
Pressing the Channel button will return you
to your normal operating channel.
If you do not desire Weather Alert, it can be
turned off through Field Programming, refer
to page 13.
