NOAA Emergency Weather Alert In the event of aNomticae jor stoCramutionor otheWrarwninegather condition requiring vessels at sea or on other bodies of water to be notified, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that receivers such as your CobraMarine VHF radio can detect and warn you of a weather alert condition. When the Weather Alert mode on your radio is On, this signal will produce a loud tone from the speaker in the radio and will automatically switch to the alerting weather channel so the alert broadcast can be heard. NOAA Test Alert System To test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz signal every Wednesday sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in each local time zone. Any receiver that can detect the weather alert tone may use this service to verify that this system is functioning properly. These signals will be received in Marine or Weather Standby modes as described below.

All common operating functions of the radio will work the same in WX Standby mode as they do in the normal Marine Standby mode.
