Listening to the Weather Band
The FCC has allocated channels for use by National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agencies
in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their
weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broadcast
your local forecast and regional weather information on one or
more of these channels.
Listening to a Weather Channel
Press CB/WX to select weather
mode. WX appears. The CB
radio scans through the weather
channels and then stops on the
strongest channel. Press CB/WX
again to return to CB mode.
Note: You cannot adjust the
power level or switch to
channel 9 or 19 while listening to a weather channel.
Turning Digital Weather Alert On and Off
• Digital weather alert automatically scans in the background
when you select the CB mode, unless you turn it off.
