NOAA Weather Channels And Alert •
Monitoring the weather will probably be a frequent use of your VHF radio. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides continuous,
around-the-clock broadcasts of the latest weather information. Taped weather
messages run every four (4) to six (6) minutes and are revised every two (2)
or three (3) hours, or as needed. The Coast Guard also announces weather
and other safety warnings on Channel 16. Smart boaters keep an eye on safety
and an ear to the VHF radio — and never let the weather catch them unaware.
NOAA Emergency Weather Alert
In the event of a major storm or other weather condition requiring vessels at sea
or on other bodies of water to be notified, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that
receivers such as your CobraMarine™VHF radio can detect and warn you of a
weather alert condition. When the Weather Alertmode on your radio is On,
this signal will produce a loud tone from the speaker in the radio and a flashing
“ALRT” icon on the LCD to signal that a weather alert is being broadcast. To hear
the warning itself, you will need to switch to the weather channel you selected.
Test
Totest this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz signal every Wednesday sometime
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in each local time zone. Any receiver that can detect the
weather alert tone may use this feature to verify that this feature is functioning properly.
