LISTENING TO WEATHER BROADCASTS
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated fre- quencies for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra- tion (NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated frequencies for use by their weather reporting authorities.
Your local weather reporting authority broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these frequencies. If your scanner is within a weather reporting authority’s broadcast range, you can scan these frequencies.
Your scanner has 7 weather service frequencies preprogrammed. See “National Weather Frequencies” on Page 40 for a list of these frequen- cies.
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, simply press WX. Your scanner scans through the weather frequencies. Your scanner should stop within a few seconds on your local weather broad- cast.
To manually tune to a specific preprogrammed weather frequency, press WX, then HOLD. Repeatedly press s or t to move forward or backward through the frequencies.
