TELESCOPING ANTENNA:

antenna to receive a steady strong signal. Place the radio near a
window if you are indoors for best reception.
WEATHER BAND RADIO:
The IC Chip supports weather band reception from 162.4 to 162.55
MHz. The highly integrated IC Chip meets NOAA specification,
receives all seven NOAA specified frequencies, implements
narrowband FM de-emphasis, and supports 1050 Hz alert tone
detection. In addition, the IC Chip provides advanced features not
available on conventional radios, such as an AFC and a dynamic
channel bandwidth filter. In WB mode the radio will continually
broadcasts weather radio. Fully extend telescoping antenna.
Radio receives 7 weather band (WB) frequencies:
Channel 1: 162.400MHz Channel 5: 162.500MHz
Channel 2: 162.425MHz Channel 6: 162.525MHz
Channel 3: 162.450MHz Channel 7: 162.550MHz
Channel 4: 162.475MHz

AM RADIO:
The highly integrated IC Chip supports worldwide AM band reception
from 520 to 1710 kHz using a digital low-IF architecture with a
minimum number of external components and no manual alignment
required. This digital low-IF architecture allows for high-precision
filtering offering excellent selectivity and SNR with minimum variation
across the AM band.
