Weather Receiver
This feature is not available in Latin America
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment
Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see "Weather Channels and
Frequencies" table below) or set your radio to alert you to emergency
weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts. When you listen to a
weather channel, you cannot use your radio in scan mode or for two-way
communications.
Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout
the United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast
watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.
Note: NOAA/EC weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific areas
and service may be limited. Please check with your local weather office for
frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US or

transmitter for your area.
