Dedicated SAME Weather Alert Receiver Mode
After you have entered information for one or more SAME locations, press the WX key to
activate Weather Monitor mode and select the strongest weather transmitter for your area.
Press the SKIP key to toggle between SAME Standby and Normal Weather Monitor mode.
When Standby mode is selected, iSCAN will monitor the selected weather channel for
SAME alerts that match the locations you have programmed. If a matching alert is detected,
iSCAN will sound an alarm, display the type of alert on its LCD screen and monitor the alert
message.
Skywarn
iSCAN’s Skywarn Playlist is useful for storing objects that may be useful to monitor during
times of severe weather, such as amateur radio repeaters used to provide Skywarn storm
spotter reports to local National Weather Service offices. By monitoring Skywarn repeaters,
you’ll hear about severe weather conditions before they are reported by local radio and
television media. The Skywarn Playlist works like any other iSCAN Playlist. It can be
enabled and disabled for scanning along with the 20 regular Playlists. The Skywarn Playlist
can also be accessed quickly by pressing the WX key while iSCAN is in Weather Monitor
mode. When activated from Weather Monitor mode, all other Playlists are temporarily
disabled, and only objects mapped to the Skywarn playlist will be monitored.
Searching
iSCAN features several search modes to help you find more objects to listen to. As you use
iSCAN’s search modes to find new objects, you can write them down as they are received,
then use the companion iSCAN PC Application to add them to your playlists later.
Signal Stalker II
iSCAN features RadioShack’s innovative Signal Stalker II technology, which can rapidly
sweep through a range of frequencies and find transmissions from nearby sources.
