What Is the NOAA Weather Radio?
NOAA is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a
day. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the SO st:.rtes, as well as the
adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific TenitOri8S,
Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting
frequencies used: 162.400MHz (CH2), 162.425MHz (CH4). 162.450MHz (CH5), 162.475MHz
(CH3),
162,SOOMHz (CH6), 162,525MHz (CH7) and 162.550MHz (CH1).
How many stations can I expect to receive?
Since the broadcasts pertain to local weather and information, the transmission power is
usually very low (much less than AM or FM stations) which means you will usually receive only
one station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast Signals. The most you will
receive
is two or three. and that is rare.
Is itpossible I won't receive any stations?
Depending on location, rt's possible to receive a very weak signal or none at aiL Also, similar to
AM and FM signals, weather band signals ar'e SUbject to surrounding conditions, weather,
obstructions
of the signal by hills or mountains, etc. tf no NOM signals are found/received, the
