Weatherband Operation
What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada?
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a
nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency
information 24 hours a day via the National Weather Service
(NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 750 stations
covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent coastal waters,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific
Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station
and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used.
A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio
Canada service administered by Environment Canada.
Tuning to Weatherband
Press and hold the MODE button (2) repeatedly to reach the
Weatherband. The indication "WB" will appear on the display
panel, along with the current number and channel indication:
"WB-1", "WB-2", "WB-3", "WB-4", "WB-5", "WB-6" or "WB-7." The
seven frequencies are shown in the following table:
WB Frequencie
Frequency (MHz)
162.400
162.425
162.450
162.475
162.500
162.525
162.550
The above table also shows which preset button will access the
frequency. Note that one frequency cannot be accessed using
a preset button. The frequency can only be reached using the
tuning controls.
Use the or buttons (9, 8) or the preset buttons to tune to
each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband
station broadcasting in your area.
How many stations can I expect to receive?
Since the broadcasts are local weather and information,
the transmission power is usually very low (much less than
standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one
station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast
signals. The most you will receive will be two or three, and that
is rare.
Is it possible I won't receive any stations?
Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you
will receive only a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar
to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to
surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by
hills or mountains, etc.
