Information
Note
If 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 Weather
If 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 Scan
The 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 Scan
If 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).

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.

The RF Gain is used to optimize reception in
strong or weak signal areas.
Note
The RF Gain is used to optimize
reception in weak signal areas.
Note
The 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.
