Using FIPS codes for weather alerts

The US National Weather Service established 6-digit Federal Information Processing Sys-

tem(FIPS)codestoissueweatheralertsinspecicareas.Youcanchoosewhichareasyou

want to hear alerts for by entering these FIPS codes in your radio. This can prevent you from

being bothered by events that are far from where you are boating. The radio only sounds the

alert tone if an incoming FIPS code matches one of the areas you selected.
