About NOAA/NWS
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and the National
Weather Service operates a system of weather and hazard alert
broadcasts covering most of the United States. Typical broadcasts
are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the weather
station. Fully extend the telescopic antenna and rotate until
reception is clear. The ER310 can receive broadcasts up to 50
miles from the weather station depending on your location and
conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If reception is not good, try a
different location to find a spot of improved reception. If indoors,
placement near a window usually improves reception. If a weather
broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your
local NOAA/NWS office and verify the closest station is on air.
