Does the SR-655HPC have weather channels?

Weather channels and severe-weather alerts are on the SR-655HPC+ only (short chassis with vents). Classic Version 1 and Version 2 655s do not have NOAA weather. Confirm the radio: Which 655 do I have?

This matches the SR-655HPC+ owner’s manual (function menu items WXSC, ALER, and WXSQ). Full manuals: Stryker radio user manuals.

Listen to weather

1. Turn the mode switch to WX (same switch as AM / FM / PA on the Plus).
2. Turn the channel selector to move through weather channels.
3. Weather is receive-only. The 655 does not transmit on weather frequencies, and it has no SSB.

Function menu (weather items)

Hold FUNC about two seconds until the display shows FIN, then release. Press FUNC again to step through items. Turn the channel knob to change the value.

• WXSC — ADD or DEL weather channels in the scan list.
• ALER — severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service. Factory default is ON. Set to OFF if you do not want alert tones.
• WXSQ — weather-channel squelch, 1–9 or OFF.

To scan weather channels you added with WXSC, use SCAN while in WX.

Alerts will not stop

Open the function menu, find ALER, set it to OFF.

Reset weather menu items

Radio off. Hold FUNC + COLOR + SCAN, power on, wait for REST ALL then REST END, then power cycle.

V1 and V2 655 owners: those chassis do not include weather. HPC+ is the short case with vents.
