LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra- tion (NOAA). We have preprogrammed your scanner with the seven fre- quencies most commonly used by NOAA.
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, simply press WX/E. Your scanner begins scanning through the weather band, and WX appears on the display.
Your scanner should stop within a few seconds, and then you hear the local weather broadcast. If the broadcast is weak, you can press WX/E again to scan through the rest of the weather band.
