Weather Channel Scan
The BC244CLT allows you to search from 7 pre-programmed NOAA channels for
your local NOAA weather channel.
Press
WX
to find the active weather channel
in your area. It is possible that your area is
covered by more than one weather station.
When you press
WX
, the BC244CLT immediately finds an active broadcast. If the
broadcast sounds weak and distant, press
WX
again to look for a closer station.
To exit Weather Channel Scan mode, press
SCAN
,
MANUAL
, or
ON/OFF
.
Do not program a weather frequency into one of the 30
channels. Because weather channels transmit continuously, the
scanner remains on that channel, disrupting the scanning
cycle. The Weather Scan feature is provided specifically to avoid
this occurrence.
In some parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor
weather broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas. Normally a
higher location improves the reception.
All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts. Once the
Weather Scan stops on a transmission, it remains on that
channel. Weather Scan does not resume automatically. You
must press
WX
again to resume weather scanning.
