Weather Features
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for use
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory
agencies in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their
weather reporting agencies.
The NOAA and your local weather reporting agency broadcast the local
forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these channels.

Note:
Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and
is an extremely sensitive high quality receiver on the weather frequencies.
However, the included antenna is optimized for general purpose scanning. If
you use this scanner as your only means for receiving weather alerts, please
make sure you are receiving a clear signal on the antenna or switch to an
external antenna that gives you clear reception of a local NOAA weather
broadcast.
