How the "SAME" System Works
The owner of a NWR SAME receiver can program his/her radio so that
it will alert him/her only of weather and other emergencies
for the county(s) they desire. Older (non-SAME) NWR receivers without the SAME
capability would alert for
emergencies anywhere within the coverage area of the NWR
transmitter, typically several counties, even though the
emergency could be well away from the listener. The SAME
technology can eliminate this appearance of overwarning.
To program currently available NWR SAME receivers with the Georgia county(s) of choice you will need to know the 6-digit SAME code number(s) for that county(s). :
