| Description: Our model RWX is a very sensitive and selective commercial grade receiver to monitor critical broadcasts from NOAA/NWS or Environment Canada. You can depend on it for demanding applications for reliability and superior reception. Excellent 0.15µv sensitivity provides good reception even at distances of 70 miles or more with suitable antenna. No comparison with ordinary consumer radios or scanners! Essential for airports, marinas, police, fire, and highway departments, rescue crews, CAP, RACES, SKYWARN, Coast Guard Aux., amateur repeaters, broadcast stations, state and local emergency managers, hospitals, nursing homes, schools - anyone needing a professional quality emergency warning receiver. Automatic mode provides storm watch, keeping quiet normally, but alerting you by unmuting receiver and providing an output to trip remote equipment when the weather station broadcasts an alert tone. This could be an audible alarm device or something like the alarm circuit on our REP-200 Repeater. The hearing or visually impaired can use the RWX to trip strobe lights, pagers, bed shakers, PC's, etc. Storm Watch LED indicates that receiver is actively monitoring for warnings. Listen mode allows you to manually unmute the receiver anytime to get up to date on weather conditions and then reset the automatic alerting circuit when done. The RWX Receiver is small enough for emergency or portable use, and it can be modified to operate from a small 9-12V battery if needed. The receiver uses crystal control for accuracy, and all 7 channels are provided, including the new split channels. An internal switch allows you to select whichever channel you receive best from your location. SPECIFICATIONS: Channels supplied: 162.400, 162.425, 162.450,162.475, 162.500, 162.525, 162.550.
