• Find your county, and record the S.A.M.E. number listed next to
your county.
Helpful Tip: The S.A.M.E. code is created using the following method:
• The first digit is the subcounty code-currently 0 in most areas.
• The second two digits represent the state code.
• The last three digits represent the county code.
Your MD319 weather radio is preprogrammed to receive NWS
weather and hazard alert transmissions for all S.A.M.E. county
codes within range. If this is what you want, leave the radio set to
“ALL”. This is the default setting.
