SKYWARN
®
During severe weather Skywarn® repeaters relay severe
weather reports from Amateur Radio operators in the
field to local National Weather Service offices. When
there is no severe weather these repeaters are used
for routine communications by licensed Amateur Radio
operators. Monitoring Skywarn®, you will hear actual
reports as they are called in. You will hear locations near
you and you will hear those reports minutes before they
are relayed on NWS Weather broadcasts and much
sooner than on radio or TV.
To import Skywarn® Frequencies:
1. Browse for Skywarn® frequencies in the EZ Scan
library and import them to the Skywarn® Scanlist.
If not found in the library, check with a local
Amateur Radio club. Find a local one at
www.arrl.org.
2. Enable the Skywarn® Scanlist.
To activate Skywarn®:
1. Press once to enter Weather Mode.
2. Press again to activate Skywarn®.
NOTE: Skywarn® temporarily disables all other
Scanlists. Remember, local EOC offices (county sheriff
or local police) are an important part of Skywarn®. Feel
free to add EOC talkgroups to your Skywarn® scanlist.
