What is the NOAA Weather Radio?
NOAA is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day. The U.S. network has
more than 530 stations covering the 50 states, as well as the adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and
the U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting
frequencies used: 162.400MHz (CH2), 162.425MHz (CH4), 162.450MHz (CH5), 162.475MHz (CH3), 162.500MHz (CH6),
162.525MHz (CH7) and 162.550MHz (CH1).
How many stations can I expect to receive?
Since the broadcasts pertain to local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very low (much less than AM
or FM stations) which means you will usually receive only one station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast
signals. The most you will receive is two or three, and that is rare.
Is it possible I won't receive any stations?
Depending on location, it's possible to receive a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weather
band signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc. If no NOAA
signals are found, the tuner will scan all seven NOAA frequencies every 30 seconds.
NOAA Weather Alert
The Weather Alert function adds an additional level of user safety by automatically switching from the current function mode to
weather band mode for a minimum of 60 seconds if a NOAA warning tone (1050 Hz) is received. If no additional warning tone
is received for 60 seconds, the unit will switch back to the last known function mode.
