Weather Receiver

This radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio.

When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use the radio in scan mode or for two- way communications.

NOAA has transmitters located throughout the United States. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.

Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US to view the appropriate transmitter for your area.

The use of the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by NOAA’s National Weather Service.
