LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has
allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agen-
cies in other countries have also allocated channels for
use by their weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broad-
cast your local forecast and regional weather information
on one or more of these channels.
Listening to a Weather Channel
To hear your local forecast and regional weather infor-
mation, press
WX
. Your scanner scans through the
weather band then stops within a few seconds on the
strongest weather broadcast.
