S A M E The MIDLAND Weather Radio Model WR 100 is designed to receive these S A M E county code transmissions NWR divides the United States and territories by state and county or parish and assigns a six digit code number called a FIPS Federal Information Processing System code also known as a NWR S A M E county code You can program the Weather Receiver with up to 25 S A M E County Codes The Weather Receiver allows you to receive broadcast alerts for either your own county or for up to 25 counties You do this by programming in the S A M E county codes for counties important to you This will eliminate any Alerts that are not within your area of interest For example if you only want to be informed for alerts within your own county just program in the S A M E county code for your own county But if you want to be informed about counties that are North South East and or West of you you will also program in those S A M E county codes When you program your S A M E country code s into the MIDLAND Weather Receiver you eliminate any Alerts that are not within those counties Warnings watches and statements of weather and other area emergencies about 50 different types will activate the Weather Receiver for only your programmed specific area The S A M E message the NWR sends contains information that tells the weather receiver the time period for which the alert is valid NWS can set the active time of the alert f
