LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11
channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-
tion (NOAA). We have preprogrammed your scanner with the seven
frequencies most commonly used by NOAA.
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, simply
press
WX ( E ). Your scanner begins scanning through the weather
band, and WX appears.
If there is a weather broadcast in your area, your scanner stops within
a few seconds and you hear the local weather broadcast. If the broad-
cast is weak, you can press
WX again to scan through the rest of the
weather band.
