Weather Band Operation
What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada?
This 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 50 states as well as the adjacent costal 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.
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.
How will I know I am tuned to Weatherband?
When you select the weather band, the indication "WTHR" will appear on the display panel, along with the current channel indication: "CH1", CH2", "CH3", "CH4", "CH5", "CH6" or "CH7". Use the up and down tuning buttons to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband station broadcasting in your area.
