LISTENING TO THE 
WEATHER BAND
The FCC (Federal Communications 
Commission) has allocated seven 
frequencies for use by the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 
NOAA broadcasts your local forecast and 
regional weather information on one or more 
of these frequencies. We have programmed 
your scanner with these seven frequencies.
To hear your local forecast and regional 
weather information, press 
WX
. The scanner 
begins to scan the weather band.
You will probably receive one frequency 
better than the others for your area. The 
scanner should stop within a few seconds on 
that frequency. If the broadcast is weak, 
press 
WX
 again to resume scanning.
