NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) Feature
12
As an added benefit, your J Series radio is capable of
receiving broadcasts from the National Weather Service.
Use this extremely useful feature during times of
hazardous weather or simply to better schedule activities
that are weather dependent.
The National Weather Service (NWR) broadcasts are
transmitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your area
has a specific NOAA weather frequency. To find the
frequency for your area go to:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrbro.htm
Click on your state. Then click on the county closest to
you. You will see a frequency listed. Match the frequency
for your area with 1 of the 7 listed in the table on this
page.
Refer to page 17 [NOAA WX] How To Program Radio-
Wide Features for details on how to program your
J Series radio to a National Weather Service frequency.
When youve programmed the NOAA WX feature into your
radio, [NOAA WX] will appear as the last channel
programmed in your radio.
You may select from the National Weather Service
frequencies listed below:
