Skywarn
About Skywarn
Many areas of the country have amateur radio repeaters that have been designated as “Skywarn” repeaters. During times of severe weather, these repeaters are used to relay reports of severe weather directly to meteorologists at a local National Weather Service forecast office. Using the Skywarn feature in your radio, you can easily jump to your local Skywarn frequency and monitor these reports, in many cases hearing about severe weather in your area instantly as it occurs.
nNote: If you tune to a Skywarn frequency when the Skywarn net is not active, you may hear nothing, or you may hear amateur radio operators talking on a local repeater system.
Programming Skywarn Channels into Memory
Before using the Skywarn function, you must store Skywarn channels into the memory. Visit RadioReference.com to find the Skywarn
frequencies used in your area. You can store up to 20 Skywarn frequencies into memory.
Press Skywarn to enter the Skywarn mode, the radio will select the last channel used.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are FIPS codes and SAME signals?
The National Weather Service (NWS) precedes each weather alert with a digitally encoded SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) signal, then a 1050 Hz tone. The SAME signal includes aFIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) code and an event code that corresponds with the type of alert being sent.
The FIPS code format is:
Subdivisions | State | County |
XXX | ||
(0=entire area) | (00=all states) | (000=all counties) |
Example: 048439
(0=All; 48=Texas; 439=Tarrant County)
To obtain the FIPS codes for your area, contact your local RadioShack store or call the NWS toll free at
nNote: Your weather radio comes
What is an alert?
Your radio is preset to receive warnings, watches, and advisories from the NWS. When an alert is received, a voice or tone alert sounds, and the alert description and duration appear on the display. Alert descriptions are based on a list of specific weather alert types published by NWS. For a list of alert descriptions displayed on your Weather Alert Radio, refer to “NWS Alert Descriptions” on page
nNote: If severe weather is imminent, do not wait for an alert tone.
What are undefined or unrecognized alerts?
The NWS occasionally broadcasts weather information intended for commercial or other
and the alert description (warning, watch, or advisory)
19
How do I test my radio?
The NWS broadcast test alerts every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and 1 PM. To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contact your local NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) or the NWS
(National Weather Service). These offices are listed in most telephone books or online at www.nws.noaa.gov. These test alerts are off by default. To change your alert settings see “Set Alerts” on page 14.
wImportant: Clear reception of a weather broadcast signal does not guarantee an emergency alert will trigger your radio’s alert function. The alert function will only be triggered by an emergency alert when you program the weather radio with the FIPS code for your area.
Multiple FIPS codes are stored, but why does the radio only respond to alerts for one area?
Make sure your radio is set to MULTIPLE mode. See “SAME Code” on page 13.
Why is there no weather broadcast when I press WX?
•Make sure the telescoping antenna is fully extended.
•Make sure the radio is set to the weather channel broadcast in your area. See “Select Channel” on page 12
What is the difference between a watch and a warning?
•A watch alerts you to potential severe weather approaching your area. It doesn’t mean severe weather will occur, but that the right conditions exist which could lead to severe storms. You should be prepared for deteriorating weather.
•A warning states the severe weather is imminent or present in your vicinity. You should immediately take precautions to protect yourself and your family.
How can I adapt my weather alert radio for special needs?
You can use your weather alert radio with a universal interface or modules that trigger a siren and/or flash lights when an alert is received. See “Connecting an External Alert” on page 15 for more information.
