About NOAA/NWS
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the
National Weather Service operate a system of weather and
hazard alert broadcasts covering most of the United States.
Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles
of the weather station. Fully extend the telescopic antenna and
rotate until reception is clear. The ER210 can receive broadcasts
up to 50 miles from the weather station depending on your
location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If reception is not
good, try a different location to find a spot of improved reception.
If indoors, placement near a window usually improves reception.
If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels,
contact your local NOAA/NWS office and verify the closest
station is on air. Their web site is
