What
is
the
NOAA
Weather Radio!Weatheradio Canada?
NOAA (National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system that
broadcasts
local
weather emergency information 24 hours a day via the
National Weather
Service (NWS) network. 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.
Tuning to Weatherband
Press and hold the
BANDIWB
button (15) to access the Weatherband. The indication
"WB"
will
appear on the
display panel, along
with the current number and
channel
indication: "WB-1
",
"WB-2",
"WB-3",
"WB-4", "WB-5", "WB-6" or
"WB-7".
The seven frequencies are shown
in
the
following table:

The above
table also
shows which preset button
will
access the frequency. Note that one
frequency cannot
be
accessed using a preset button. The frequency can
only
be
reached
using the tuning
controls.
Use the TUNE/SEEK
>>I
or
I<<
buttons (19, 18) or the preset buttons to tune to each
of
the
seven
channels until
you find the weatherband station broadcasting
in
your area.
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.
