FINDING LOCAL CHANNELS & SAME CODES
The codes are subject to change. Therefore, to ensure
successful operation you must obtain the most
appropriate, up-to-date NWR radio channels and SAME
codes for a specific county or region, from the contact
details listed below.
To contact the NWS by telephone:
1. Phone 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263).
2. Follow prompts through a simple voice menu.
To obtain NWS radio channels and SAME codes on
the internet:
1. Locate www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm
2. Click the State for which information is needed.
For example, clicking on "Montana" will give a list of
information relevant to the State of Montana including
the names of counties, SAME codes, NWR transmitter
locations, the frequency of the transmitter, the strength
of the signal in WATTS, and any remarks as applicable.
