Abstract
In one embodiment, an emergency radio includes a processor in data communication with a radio receiver, electronic memory, an input device, an output device, and electronic instructions. The electronic instructions, when executed by the processor, perform steps for: (a) automatically obtaining a SAME code and at least one initial frequency setting for a given location; (b) sampling each of the at least one initial frequency settings using the radio receiver and disregarding any initial frequency setting that fails to meet predetermined criteria, whereby any remaining initial frequency setting is a potential frequency setting; (c) identifying a selected frequency setting from all of the potential frequency settings; (d) storing the SAME code and the selected frequency setting in the electronic memory; and (e) causing all alert data associated with the SAME code and the selected frequency setting to be output.
