LISTENING TO THE
WEATHER BAND
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated seven frequencies for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these frequencies. We have programmed your scanner with these seven frequencies.
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, press WX. The scanner begins to scan the weather band.
You will probably receive one frequency better than the others for your area. The scanner should stop within a few seconds on that frequency. If the broadcast is weak, press WX again to resume scanning.
