Weather Receiver
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)
Weather Radio.
You can listen to a weather channel or set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts
that interrupt routine broadcasts. See Weather Channels and Frequencies on page 30 for details.
When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio in scan mode or for Two-Way
communications.
Both NOAA and ECCC have transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada,
respectively. 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. To view the appropriate transmitter for your area, check with your local weather office
for frequency and details or visit http://www.weather.gov/nwr in the US. The use of the NOAA
logo does not provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by the National Weather Service
of NOAA, nor does the use of the Weather Radio logo provide an endorsement or implied
endorsement by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
