Operating Your Radio
SAME Alert Codes
Your HH450 radio has the ability to alert you when NOAA sends
out alerts from their Emergency Alert System (EAS). These
alerts cover any weather related watches, warnings or
statements. Using this system insures that you will always be
aware of your local Weather, Civil, and National emergency
events.
For a complete list of all the event codes your radio is capable
of displaying, please go to the following web address:

WX Auto Seatch (SCAN)
WX Auto Search (SCAN) Mode Function
The purpose of the WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is to enable the receiver to
automatically scan for an active WX channel under the following conditions:
1. WX Auto Search (SCAN) function is On.
2. WX Alert is On.
3.
The radio is tuned to a Marine or GMRS channel and has
entered Power Save mode (meaning there is no signal activity
or user input for 10 seconds).
4. The radio software has detected that the current WX
channel signal level has dropped below a preset minimum
level or is gone completely.
Once these conditions have been met, the software will then scan the Weather
channels looking for an active Weather channel. When an active Weather channel is
found it will stop the scan and use the new Weather channel to look for the standard
1050Hz alert tone.

Receiving a Weather Alert
NOAA broadcasts weather information as described in the
NOAA weather channels section on page 75 of this manual.
When NOAA broadcasts a weather alert signal and your radio is
in WX Alert Standby mode, the following items will be
displayed on the LCD display:
■ The WX icon (cloud/sun) icon will be displayed.
■ The last used weather channel will be displayed.
■
The bar graph will display received signal strength level.
■ The WX Alert (triangle) or SAME Alert icon will be
displayed if either of these alerts are enabled.
■ The matrix will display WEATHER STANDBY.
NOTE
Only one (1) or two (2) of the weather channels will be
operating in any given location [only in Receive (Rx)
mode]. You will need to select the channel with the
strongest signal in your location.
NOTE
When WX Alert is turned on, and NOAA sends the 1050
Hz alert tone, the radio will sound a series of loud beeps
regardless of the volume control setting.
NOTE
When SAME Alert is turned on, and NOAA sends a
SAME message, the radio will display the NOAA warning
message.
NOTE
When either WX or SAME is set on, then in Marine and
GMRS standby modes, the radio will display the selected
weather channel.
