Weather Band Operation

What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weathe radio Canada?
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system tha that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day via the National Weather
Service (NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent costal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacifi Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio Canada service administered by Environment Canada.

Tuning to Weather Weather band
Press and hold the BANBAND/WB button ( 9) to access the Weatherband. The indication ” will
appear on the display panel, along with the current number and channel indication: “WB WB-1″,
WB -2”, “WB WB-3”, “WB WB-4”, “WB WB-5”, “WB WB-6” or “WB WB-7”. The sev en frequencies are shown in the
following table:

The above table also shows which preset button will access the frequency. Note that one frequency cannot be accessed using a preset button. The frequency can only be reached using the tuning controls.

Use the SEEK >>| or |<< buttons (15, 13) or the preset buttons to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband station broadcasting in your area.

How many stations can I expect to receive?

Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very low (much less than standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast signals. The most you will receive will be two or three, and that is rare.

Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you will receive only a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain
minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases,
and can ca use the product to work improperly.
Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.
Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High temperature
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic
parts.

Ignition

The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the radio
being placed close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be easily detected
because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine.
Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type
high voltage igni tion wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vessels employ
this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another
method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtai ned from
most CB/A radio or electronic supply shops.

Interference
Radio reception in a moving environment is very different from reception in a stationary
environment (home). It is very important to understand the difference.
AM reception will deteriorate
when passing under a bridge or when pa passing under high voltage
lines. Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to receive at great
distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are
reflected b ack by the upper atmosphere.
