NOAA
The 1770 is programmed from the factory in “NWR STBY”
mode. This allows the unit to receive laser/radar signals
while scanning the seven (7) NOAA Weather Radio (NWR)
broadcast channels. Weather announcements will only be
heard if a weather warning or advisory is in your area. With
a few exceptions, NOAA broadcasts can be received
throughout the U.S. Many of the transmitters, however, are
low powered (300 to 1000 watts) so reception may not
always be clear. As with any radio transmission, range and
quality of receptions can vary due to local terrain and
atmospheric conditions. If you are camping, for example,
it is best to switch the unit to NWR ON mode to see if a
clear NOAA broadcast is received. If so, switch the unit
back to NWR STBY mode for receiving emergency broad-
casts only.

ming, see NWR Modes section on page 16. For more
