Guest RoRo Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I can't enable weather alert on this radio. Manual calls it NOAA watch function in the manual but does not say how to activate it. I can and have chosen the right channel in my area (CH 2 for me), but for the life of me I can figure how to activae the watch function..
