•
If you receive a NOAA
broadcast on more than
one channel, the one
with the best reception
might not be the one
broadcasting information
for your location.
Contact your local
RadioShack store or the
NWS to find out which
frequency NOAA is
using to broadcast from
the station nearest your
location, then select that
channel in Step 2.
•
If you manually select a
channel and the
Weatheradio loses
power, the Weatheradio
does not search for the
channel again. It stays
on the channel you
selected before.
