WEATHER BAND AND HAZARD ALERT OPERATION

Instant Weather Band Reception

The National Weather Service (NWS) currently operates 940 transmitters around

the country to provide continuous 24-hour weather reports for all 50 states and

surrounding coastal waters. These broadcasts are transmitted on seven different

channels with the following frequencies:

Channel #

Frequency

1.

162.400 MHz

2.

162.425 MHz

3.

162.450 MHz

4.

162.475 MHz

5.

162.500 MHz

6.

162.525 MHz

7.

162.550 MHz

Your Emerson All-Alert Clock Radio receives all 7 of these frequencies clearly,

and thanks to the sensitive digital tuner there is no cumbersome ‘fine-tuning’

required.

You must select the weather channel that provides coverage for your geographic

area. This set-up is only done once and then your radio will automatically tune to

the correct frequency whenever you press the WEATHER/HAZARD button.
