5. Selecting the Weather Band Channel
To receive alerts, you must first select the correct weather channel.
NOAA broadcasts on seven channels, in 25KHz increments, between the frequencies
of 162.400MHz and 162.550MHz. To identify the appropriate channel for your area, visit
the NOAA web site at:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm
The table on the NOAA website includes the correct weather band channel for your
area, the SAME code and the location of the broadcast tower.  Look for the state in which
you live and then search the list for your county. Use the channel listed for your county
when programming the radio.
If you cannot access the NOAA website,
call NOAA at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263).
You can also select a weather channel by listening to each channel and choosing the
one with the best reception. In most cases this will be the appropriate channel, however,
sometimes broadcast areas overlap. The best reception may not originate from the tower
broadcasting to your area.
 THEN PRESS SAVE
