BROADCASTS
The FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) has allocated frequen-
cies for use by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other
countries have also allocated frequen-
cies for use by their weather reporting
authorities.
Your local weather reporting authority
broadcasts your local forecast and re-
gional weather information on one or
more of these frequencies. If your
scanner is within a weather reporting
authority’s broadcast range, you can
scan these frequencies.
Your scanner has these weather fre-
quencies preprogrammed:
• 162.4000 MHz
• 162.4250 MHz
• 162.4500 MHz
• 162.4750 MHz
• 162.5000 MHz
• 162.5250 MHz
• 162.5500 MHz
To hear your local forecast and re-
gional weather information, simply
press WX. Your scanner scans
through the weather frequencies. Your
scanner should stop within a few sec-
onds on your local weather broadcast.
Follow these steps to manually tune to
a specific preprogrammed weather
frequency.
