	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Weatheradio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Weatheradio is a special radio service available over much of North America that transmits weather warnings and forecasts 24 hours a day.
		These channels (often numbered in that order) are receivable on special weatheradio receivers, available across both countries by mail-order and at some retailers such as Radio Shack, on most marine VHF radio transceivers, and on scanners.
		When a weather warning is issued for the area which a station covers, certain weatheradios are designed to turn on or sound an alarm upon detection of a tone, issued for ten seconds immediately before the warning message.

		The MSC Weatheradio network is a broadcast technology that allows the MSC to send forecasts and warning messages to users by the use of a tone alert feature.
		One important feature of the Weatheradio network is that many receivers are equipped with the capability, while in the standby mode, of sounding a siren or displaying a flashing light when a warning message is received.
		Through this feature, Weatheradio is a true alert system that does not require the users to constantly monitor the broadcast as the content and timing is totally controlled by the MSC.
