Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME)

The SAME weather alert allows listeners and EAS

(Emergency Alert System) participants to filter the National

Weather Radio (NWR) broadcast of warnings and

emergency alerts to receive only messages and information

for your selected local geographic area.

The Weather Alert must be turned On for the SAME alert

code to be set. The SAME alert requires that a specific six

(6) digit code be programmed into this radio. To program

this SAME receiver with the proper county(s) and marine

areas(s) of choice, you need to know the 6 digit SAME code

number(s) for the county(s). This setting allows up to 10

available channels that may be set up in any combination. Of

the 10 channels, any of the codes may be turned On or Off

for specific weather area information to be listed.
