4. NOAA Weather Alert
When the radio is set to WB (Weather Band) and the alert function is active, the radio will remain in a silent state. Upon receiving a weather alarm signal, the radio will automatically sound an alarm and flash its light, then broadcast the weather station's information. This feature is crucial for timely warnings during severe weather events.
