ing) signal, then a 1050 Hz tone. You can set the scan-
ner to decode and display the SAME message when an
alert is broadcast. Then if you are monitoring a weather
channel with a digitally-encoded SAME signal when an
alert is broadcast, the scanner will show the type of alert
being broadcast such as
