What is S.A.M.E.?
S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) allows this radio to be programmed to sound an alert only when weather and other emergencies threaten the selected county (or counties). This technology eliminates all other alerts which are only intended for locations outside the selected area. Weather and other emergencies can occur at any time, day or night. Without S.A.M.E., you could be unnecessarily alerted at any hour for an emergency as far as 100 miles away.
