USING THE WEATHERADIO
In the USA, detailed weather infor-
mation is continuously broadcast on
372 government weather stations.
Each station broadcasts on
A —
162.400, B — 162.475, or C —
162.550 MHz.
Most weather stations use frequency
C , but in locations where there might
be interference between stations, the
other two frequencies might be used.
Choose the frequency that provides
the best reception at your location.
Follow these steps to receive weath-
er information.
Note: Before you use the weathera-
dio, be sure you connect a power
source and an antenna to the CB.
1. Turn VOLUME clockwise to turn
on the weatheradio.
2. Set WEATHERADIO-ABC/CB to
A , B or C .
3. Adjust VOLUME to the desired
listening level.
Notes:
• If reception is poor, try one of the
other two weather station fre-
quencies.
• CH9 , CHANNEL UP/DOWN , PUSH
TO TALK , DISPLAY , and RANGE
have no effect on weatheradio
operation.
