Listening to the Weather Band
Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is an ex-
tremely sensitive high quality receiver on the weather frequencies. However,
the included flex antenna is optimized for general purpose scanning. If you use
this scanner as your only means for receiving weather alerts, please check to
be sure you are receiving a clear signal on the flex antenna or switch to an
external antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather broad-
cast.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regula-
tory agencies in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their
weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broadcast your local forecast
and regional weather information on one or more of these channels.

To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, press
WX

scanner scans through the weather band then stops within a few seconds on
the next available weather broadcast.
