Severe Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as severe thunderstorms and hurri-
canes, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA
weather channels. See page 55 for details regarding activation of this mode.
