Using the Weather Band
NOAA Weather Radio is a service of the
National Weather Service. It provides
continuous broadcasts of the latest weather
information directly from the National
Weather Service offices. Taped weather
messages are repeated every four to six
minutes and are revised every one to three
hours or more frequently if needed. Most
of the stations operate 24 hours a day. The
weather for the area you are in can be found
on one of 7 stations.
When in the Weatherband mode, the display
will show the "WX" icon and "CH" plus
the channel number. The channel can be
changed using the UP (13) or DOWN
(17) buttons and can also be preset to the
pushbuttons. The frequency associated with each channel
is as follows:
1 162.550 MHz
2 162.400 MHz
3 162.475 MHz
4 162.425 MHz
5 162.450 MHz
6 162.500 MHz
7 162.525 MHz
The National Weather Service operates
approximately 372 stations. Close to 90
percent of the nation’s population is within
listening range of a NOAA Weather Radio
broadcast.
