LISTENING TO A WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has al-
located 11 channels 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 channels. We have programmed
your scanner with 10 of the U.S. frequencies most com-
monly used by NOAA.
