LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for use by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these channels in your area. We have preprogrammed your CB with 10 of the U.S frequencies used by NOAA. See “Channel Assignments.”

To select a weather broadcast, press WEATHER then press CHANNEL s or t to choose between the 10 fre- quencies. WX appears on the display.
