The manual doesn't show a way to ENABLE tornado warnings.

It's a 12-259 SAME Weatheradio.

Is it on by default to make sure people are warned?

I've read the manual a dozen times and pressed programming buttons
until my fingers hurt.


PLEASE??? Help me, please???

You do not set it specifically for "tornado warnings". If you have
the FIPS codes set per the manual then it will go off when a warning
is issued. There is a special code that goes out with the warnings
that allow radios properly equipped to show what type of warning it
is. However, you do NOT set the radio to enable "tornado" or other
specific warnings

The radio allows me to disable/enable "yes/no" to all watches and
warnings. However I can enable tornado 'watch' but not a tornado
'warning'. It simply is not an option.

Am I to assume the radio is setup so that you cannot enable/disable
the specific 'tornado warning'?

Their are about 15 watches and warnings I can setup.
