HOW TO PROGRAM COUNTY CODES
SAME county codes are required to selectively receive weather and environ-
mental alerts for a specific county, and need to be entered into the ESP2100.
Up to nine selected SAME codes can be entered. The first step in programming
SAME codes requires the user to select the option of receiving (ALL) warnings
or selected warnings. Selecting (ALL) will result in the ESP2100 broadcasting all
alerts and warnings issued on a particular radio frequency which can encom-
pass a large geographical area of many counties.To receive warnings for a
specific county, that county code must be programmed into the ESP2100.
Note: It is recommended that the user program the ESP2100 with specific
codes of interest or need in order to receive alerts and warnings pertinent to
only those counties. Selecting (ALL) of the county code will result in the
ESP2100 receiving all of the messages of an entire transmission region.These
regions are quite large and encompass about 5,000 square miles. Display fields
permit up to nine county codes to be entered. The user can select less than nine
codes by leaving the unused fields empty.

STATE-COUNTY CODING:
The 3 digits on the far right identify the specific county. Each county within a
state will have an independent three-digit code.
Note: To receive all of the alerts for a given state, insert 000 into the county
section.
