WEATHER FEATURE (NOT FOR RDU4103)
The RDX radio weather mode can be programmed to
operate and receive weather channels that are
broadcast by the National Weather Radio (NWR). The
NWR system is a nationwide network of radio stations
(more than 1000 stations in United States) that
broadcast continuous weather information for the
public. The NWR broadcasts all types of weather
service warnings, watches, forecasts and other
hazard information. The NWR can also broadcast
non- weather alerts such as national security, natural,
environmental, and public safety in conjunctions with
the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The RDX radio weather feature can detect weather
alerts/warnings that are broadcast by NWR. The
RDX+ radio can be programmed to detect the analog
tone or digital-over-audio protocol. The analog tone is
a 1050 Hz tone (Warning Alarm Tone), which is issued
for 10 seconds immediately before the warning
message by the NWR transmitter. When RDX radio
detects the Warning Alarm tone, it unmutes audio and
