Emergency Radio: CB Radios provide reliable communication which is not dependent on satellites and cellular networks that can be the difference between getting experienced help in an emergency and being left on your own when you need assistance. New Dual-mode AM/FM: Access AM and FM channels to communicate with more users and with better sound quality. Weather & Alert Scan: Automatically tune into the strongest weather channel and alert tone available to catch every important weather notice. Combined with access to NOAA weather channels, the 29LX won't miss important information while scanning. Clock & Alarm: Display the current time on screen and keep yourself alert by setting an alarm for anytime during the day to make sure you're always on time. Radio Check & Frequency Display: Automatically run diagnostics for voltage and RF output, with antenna matching to ensure that the signal is as strong as possible and working properly. Operating CB and weather frequencies also displayed on screen.
