Is there somthing wrong with it? I swear I am the only one who knows what this thing is for. Everyone else is scared to death of a tornado because they can't hear the sirens.
If it is not broken what is making it do this?-

FS The Informer
Ok so I was working late last night and I went into the offic and I heard this horrible static sound. I found what was doing it. It was The Informer. It was flashing alert and making this horrible static sound then it got quiet just flashing Alert Then a second worth of static then quiet again followed by 2 seconds of static. Then the static would come back then repeat the whole cycle over again.

Re: FS The Informer
It sounds like the Informer was in monitor mode. Pressing the green monitor button briefly will disable selective sgnalling and turn the Informer into a carrier squelch receiver. Pressing the monitor button and holding it for a few seconds will disable selective signalling and open the squelch. Monitor is useful for checking the quality of a received signal without having to trip the receiver, and can be used to aim antennas, etc.
My guess is that the intermittent bursts of noise you heard were caused by a weak signal just barely strong enough to open the squelch, probably being generated by a PC, alarm system, or other nearby electronic equipment. Pressing the reset button should return it to selective signalling mode.
