6.5 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 HX400 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

HX400, 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

transceiver changes to the weather channel mode and

recalls 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.

6.5.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT

In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and hurricanes,

NOAA sends a “weather alert” consisting of a 1050 Hz tone, followed by weather

reports on the weather channels.

When a “weather alert” is received on a weather channel,

the transceiver emits a beep tone. Press the key to

stop the beep tone and listen to the weather reports.

6.5.2 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 HX400 periodically to confirm that the Weather Alert feature is

working, or for training crew members on how to configure the HX400 to re-

ceive the NOAA Weather Alerts.
