6.7 NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS
In the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiring
vessels at sea (or other bodies of water) to be notified, the NOAA (National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone
which the HX290 can detect and alert you of pending storm warnings. The
1050 Hz tone, when detected, will produce a loud beep in the speaker of the
HX290, to signal that a Weather Alert Broadcast is being received.
1. To receive a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
weather broadcast, press and hold the key. The trans-
ceiver changes to the weather channel mode and re-
calls the last used NOAA weather channel. This mode
consists of a preset memory bank containing the NOAA
weather channels.
2. Press the or key to change to other weather channels.
3. To exit from the weather channel mode, press and hold the key. The
transceiver will revert to the channel you were using prior to switching to
the weather channel mode.
6.7.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT
The HX290 can receive Weather Alerts when on a weather channel or on the
last selected Weather channel during scan modes or while on another chan-
nel.
When a “weather alert” is received on a weather channel,
the transceiver emits a beep tone and “ ” icon is
shown on the display. Press the key to stop the beep
tone and listen to the weather reports.

6.7.2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING
In order to test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone every Wednes-
day sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM local time. You may use this opportu-
nity to test your HX290 periodically to confirm that the Weather Alert feature is
working, or for training crew members on how to configure the HX290 to re-
ceive the NOAA Weather Alerts.
