one of its features, we strongly recommend that you 
not use the scanner as your sole means for receiving 
emergency alerts. Your local electronics retailer 
carries several weather radios specifically designed 
for this function.

that use standard two-tone sequential paging, short 
one-tone paging, and long group tone paging. You can
