LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND
Your scanner incorporates weather alert as one of its features and is an
extremely sensitive high quality receiver on the weather frequencies. How-
ever, the included telescoping antenna is optimized for general purpose scan-
ning. If you use this scanner as your only means for receiving weather alerts,
please check to be sure you are receiving a clear signal on the telescoping
antenna or switch to an external antenna that gives you clear reception of a
local NOAA weather broadcast.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels
for use by the 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 fore-
cast and regional weather information on one or more of these channels.
