USING THE WEATHER CHANNELS
The National Weather Service uses several special
radio frequencies to provide continuous reports of
local weather conditions and forecasts throughout
the United States. Taped weather messages are
repeated every four to six minutes on a 24 -hour
basis and are routinely revised every one to three
hours, or more frequently if needed.
During severe weather, the routine weather broad-
casts will be interrupted with special weather
warning messages.
The HCB-40WX is designed to receive all of these
special weather frequencies plus three international
marine frequencies. A NOAA Weather Radio
Network Frequency card is enclosed to identify
the frequencies specifically broadcast for your
geographical area.
The HCB-40WX receives CB, National Weather
Service and international marine weather broadcast
