Abstract: Methods, radios, components thereof, and other terminals for broadcasting alert and advisory. A radio signal at a current radio frequency is obtained. The current radio signal comprises a plurality of identifiers, numbers, and commands that collectively represent an advisory signal. Each receiving terminal in the plurality of receiving terminals corresponds to a portion of the broadcast area. The current radio signal is compared with a predetermined group number, a terminal number, and a physical address. Each receiving terminal in the plurality of reference receiving terminals is associated with a group number, a terminal number, and a physical address. When the comparing identifies a unique match between the current radio signal and a reference receiving terminal in the plurality of reference receiving terminals, the advisory signal is deemed to be targeted to the physical address associated with the receiving terminal.
