Weather InformationNoteIf you wish to receive a listing of NOAA ‘Weather Radio Transmitter locations, contact your nearest National Weather Service Office or write to: National Weather Service (Attn: W/OM11) NOAA Silver Springs, MD 20910.For ideal weather reception use a dual band antenna (center load/baseload).Weather Alert What You Should Know About WeatherIf threatening weather is nearby, the National Weather Service may broadcast a 10 second alert tone. This tone will be heard through the CB, even if the CB/WX Control is in the CB mode or the unit is turned off. This enables you to monitor CB frequencies and still be warned by the National Weather Service Emergency Alert. When you hear the alert, press the CB/WX button in the WX mode. You will then be able to hear the Weather Warning Broadcast.Your 29 LX BT has a special auto squelch circuit for weather transmission which disables your squelch control. Weather Channels Weather Alert ScanThe unit will continually scan all 10 WX channels for 1050 Hz tone. If the tone is detected the unit will activate WX mode on the channel with the tone. Default state is Off. Go to Menu mode to choose On/Off (see page 22):What is Weather Radio?NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), of the U.S. Department of Commerce. 380 NWR sta-tions are in operation by the U.S. Government in addition to several NWR stations that are maintained by private interest groups. The capability is to sup-plement warnings by sirens and by commercial radio and televi-sion. The 10 National Weather Channels provide full cover-age to keep you informed of weather conditions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Weather Auto ScanIf active while in CB mode, will determine if the present WX channel is active. If the present WX channel is not active, will search for the strongest WX channel and auto change to that channel. Default is off. Go to Menu mode to choose on/off (see page 22).SWR/CALNB/ANLVOL SQ DYNAMIKERF GAIN DELTA TUNE T BACK SWR CALOFF MIN MINOFFMAXESCMEM SCAN S/RFMENUPUSHENTERSIGRF+30dB11.5 23CAL3579SWR TXWX !S/RFCH 9/ 19CB/WX DIMSCAN163.2752524Operation OperationBluetooth® continuedTo Place a call on HoldThe display will show:Press Enter knob.

2928Operation Operation When switched to ANL the Automatic Noise Limiter is activated. This helps reduce noise created by the vehicle’s electronics.When switched to NB/ANL mode the RF Noise Blanker is also activated, providing increased noise filtration.When switched to OFF mode all noise filtration will be turned off.NB-ANL/OFF (Noise Blanker / Automatic Noise Limiter) Button RF Gain Control RF Gain ControlThe RF Gain is used to optimize reception in strong or weak signal areas. NoteThe RF Gain is used to optimize reception in weak signal areas.NoteThe RF noise blanker is very effec-tive in reducing repetitive noises such as ignition interference.Rotate the RF Gain knob counterclockwise to reduce gain in strong signal areas. In weak signal areas turn clockwise to increase gain.NB-ANL/OFF (Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter) Button SWR/CALNB/ANLVOL SQ DYNAMIKERF GAIN DELTA TUNE T BACK SWR CALOFF MIN MINOFFMAXESCMEM SCAN S/RFMENUPUSHENTERSIGRF+30dB11.5 23CAL3579SWR TXRXNB/ANLMEMWX !ANLS/RFCH 9/ 19CB/WXDIMSCANR Pressing the Scan/Memory Scan button toggles from Off to Scan All Channels to Memory Channel Only Scan and back to Off.
