According to the WR-100 manual: "NWS can set the active time of the alert from 15 minutes up to 6 hours. When the designated time has passed, the weather radio display message and light will automatically reset to their normal appearance." Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Looks like I better program in some way to keep the weather receiver from hanging my repeater TOT for hours and hours... (I'm not sure how you can get much newer than the WR-100. I just bought it new a few weeks ago.) James K7ICU
