Listening to NOAA Weather Broadcasts and Enabling
Weather Alerts
There are 10 WX (weather) channels that are pre-programmed into your radio to monitor
weather broadcasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NOAA). WX
channels are listen-only channels.
These broadcasts are in a continuous loop and are updated regularly. Because the NOAA
weather centers broadcasting the information are regional, the weather information will be
relevant to your broadcast area.
NOTE: This functionality is not available with the VHF 100i or VHF 200i. NOAA broadcasts
on the WX channels are only available in the USA and certain regions in Canada.
