How to listen to Weather Radio (NOAA Broadcasts)

[@fliper975]

10 years later and the only one in my rural area that's being broadcast on is 162.400, but it's covering a current storm and you laid out all the freqs so I could write those down as well. Thank you so much

[@pietervanham6223]

Wow don’t take this personally but this audio sounds like a NOAA radio

[@GriffTaylor]

Yeah I was listening to local police radio before I made the video. This radio has an A and a B frequency. The B frequency (not in use in the video) is on the bottom.

[@davidmcmullen1528]

I have the uv5r as well and 162.475 works great thanks a lot for the info very helpful

[@grandma7059]

Wow thankyou. I found your KZbin channel and first code I think near bottom of list worked. I've had the bearcat handheld scanner for over two years!! Now I got figure out other ones I need. God bless you. Grateful, grandma deb

[@natewhitbey4615]

Why does my baofeng say “cancel” on the last digit of every single NOAA channel. I can’t connect to a lot of channels on my radio due to the stupid thing saying “cancel.” I’m a noob to this and need help so I can use this in an emergency and need to here NOAA weather.

[@MrDrum4lyfe]

Whats the bottem number do? My police dept near me is 155.685 (Frequency) But what do i put the bottem number as?? Please help

[@DigitalCleaner]

What antenna are you using?

[@TheBroskiVlog]

Can this be done out of the box or after programming only?

[@lordtachanka8517]

Out of the box

[@650038haig]

I learn today you do not need a actual weather radio to pick up WR feeds those frequencies can be pick up on any VHF radio that can pick up the 162. frequencies just like in this guys video can pick up weather radio feeds

[@whatsupnomuch]

I can only hear the weather frequencies when I press the MONI buttom. When are you gonna help us in how to program a Decoder, so we can use our Radio?

[@incubus_the_man]

Your squelch isn't set properly, in the Bao Feng radios, you set the squelch in a menu.

[@nojiratzlaff4388]

@@incubus_the_man yes! According to Miklor, you need to set them to 0 = 0 1 = 2 2 = 20 3 = 30 4 = 50 5 = 65 6 = 75 7 = 85 8 = 95 9 = 105 per band.

[@expertpc2007]

The bottom number is a second frequency you can listen in on.

[@toml.8210]

Can you hear the alert sounds on your radio, or dso you need a dedicated WX radio?

[@TheWolfmanG]

Awesome! I'm new to Ham... Do you have any ideas for other broadcasts I can listen to? Thanks!

[@elli003]

why can't you get these online ? As a kid I would listen to KGG 68 Houston. Now can't get it online.

[@teawynn6685]

I didnt hear anything?

[@dekzan]

Are these freqs the same used on a scanner ?

[@ramjeansakeel8242]

Hello can noaa be Heard in the indian ocean and if yes which frequency please

[@ImprEcr]

it doesnt mean you can't listen to them it just the right antenna that makes a huge reception difference in capture of the frequency

[@AK47z]

I just get static, what am I doing wrong.

[@nobull-dozer3356]

What do you do if your in the GBT TSW area and want to listen to upto date weather please.

[@allemander]

Is this considered a weather or weather alert radio? Or is it a ham radio? What's the model number, please? Thanks.

[@MoViesDProductions]

This is a Baofeng (or Pofung) UV-5R ham radio.

[@bbs5400]

I live 30 miles from Albany NY and I can't hear anything on 162.550, in fact, I can't hear anything on any of them, I only hear static on all of them when I turn the squelch down from 1 to 0(off). I can't even hear the police department that's 3 miles down the road.. what am I doing wrong? Brand new to ham and have yet to hear anything but static. Google is no help

[@adavis5308]

If you want to hear NOAA inside your house, you'll have to turn your squelch down to 0 or hit the monitor button.

[@superchargedaj]

tune to the channel then turn squelch to max. unscrew antenna then program channel to memory. then reassemble and turn squelch back to desired setting. doing both allowed me to save noaa to memory.

[@flyoversirens3704]

It depends on a

[@flyoversirens3704]

It depends on a litany of factors, such as distance from the nearest repeater, thickness of your walls, and your receiver antenna. I can hear it perfectly from my room. I'm using a Baofeng UV-5R (I think it's actually a clone) with a Nagoya NA-771.

[@saltwaterrook4638]

Ok, now tell me how to program the frequency to a channel. I can't seem to figure that out at all.

[@davidhayden8225]

What do you press. Mine different. My button is vfo and it takes you to 456.525?

[@theociba2781]

I am leaning how to work my portable ham, but can your handheld be 'programmed to ' become alert ' when it received an emergency broadcast, similar to a "SAME' radio? Txs for the response.

[@ericbooth3637]

Theo Ciba received trasima

[@ericbooth3637]

Theo Ciba any broadcast channel if have station frequency signal pick up 7 miles away

[@BBCSPCPortlandTigerL]

Got mine. I tuned to 162.550 MHz which is KIG98 and 162.525 MHz which is WNG604.

[@BrimmySP]

Show me how to do all the codes in a video

[@ThePaperKhan]

Lost my radio. Wish i knew where it was. Look like a old radio. Those really tiny thin rectangular ones.

[@Weatherarorg]

Actually you're missing a frequency. 162.475 is the one you don't mention. There are 7.

[@tanggang6824]

Wow this one is so much more clear then 162.500!

[@dekzan]

Does it track freqs like a scanner does ?

[@diegoy2883]

Hey, when I try to enter the frequency the radio says cancel. I am on VHF, and I can only enter between 140 and 150.999mhz. Do you have a trick?

[@alexpickering7725]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@jackson4861]

Yeah, did you. My radio doesn’t accept weather channels either

[@alexpickering7725]

Jack son I finally got the right cable and just programmed it on my PC

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

How about try to PTT on several NOAA frequencies?

[@antichrist6668]

Francis Litan u ll get a 100.000$ fine for that but it won't actually receive u ll only be jamming which is super illegal

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Antichrist 666 Just use outside North America and outside USA. There’s a Taxi company radio on 162.450 MHz on South Sofia Bulgaria.

[@davidjones1077]

I just bought one need help program it I live in Pittsburgh pa 15221 where do you get the codes and how to program them

[@Captainelduke]

May I ask which antenna you have on the radio?

[@carsonp.7009]

that is a common whip antenna used for that model radio, i don't know the exact model of the antenna, there are billions now!, i (along with many others) have one exactly like this by a brand named Nagoya, they are a good brand, you can pick up the antenna for a good price here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00KC4PWQQ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B00KC4PWQQ&pd_rd_wg=htyn4&pd_rd_r=H78R54BX50MQRNKBD944&pd_rd_w=BKrZj

[@SignalsEverywhere]

Sounds like you need a better antenna...

[@kaedemaeda]

so you mean that i can use my handheld radio to receive noaa signal, record the signal by phone into .wav file. and put the audio file into wxtoimg to decode it to image. am i right?

[@jasonmhite]

You're talking about the weather satellite signals. That's totally different, I don't think the Baofeng has the bandwidth to receive those signals.

[@kaedemaeda]

@@jasonmhitethanks om. got it. these days im trying to use sdr (wfm) and 2m yagi to receive noaa signals. but i have not got a clear enough image yet.

[@jasonmhite]

Aren't yagi antennas highly directional? You'll probably have better luck with something like www.rtl-sdr.com/simple-noaameteor-weather-satellite-antenna-137-mhz-v-dipole/

[@GriffTaylor]

Yeah it's funny I forgot it on the list but remembered it when I was going through the frequencies on the radio. lol

[@michaeldeleon5851]

what antenna is that?

[@sydmayhem1867]

Ooh 162.547 works for Boston!

[@16osel]

What it is antenna?

[@shaunhtath4387]

have noaa got any frequencys in the uk

[@gloriatg100]

NOAA stands for National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration it`s a U.S. government branch.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

SPCMaryland2123 / Updatewiz1 Also Weather Radio Bermuda (UK overseas territory). 162.400 MHz and 162.550 MHz.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Bermuda has 2 NOAA frequencies.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

SPCMaryland2123 / Updatewiz1 Mexico has SARMEX.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

SPCMaryland2123 / Updatewiz1 Already have 1 in South Sofia Bulgaria on 162.450 MHz uses for their local taxi company.

[@jackson4861]

Mine won’t accept any of these frequencies. Help

[@ceh4190]

Thank you so much for this video I have a baofeng UV-5r plus and I got it it took a little smarts but it so easy thank you again

[@EJ42955]

This video does not reference UV-5X3.

[@SHWELL11]

Thanks for the info

[@GriffTaylor]

Try lowering your squelch.

[@Endogamy]

It surprises me a country like the UK don't have any weather radio station apart their centralized metoffice.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Endo Gamy Receives only Taxi frequencies (162.55 MHz).

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Bermuda (UK territory) also have Weather radio brosdcast on 162.55 MHz and 162.4 MHz for Marine. Weather Radio Bermuda.

[@milbrumrussell3927]

Hey you good man I couldn't find no one just talking about getting the channels on there but you well you the only one that made sense and I finally got the channel on there for weather after messing with it all day and looking on KZbin preciate it if you can can you send me a link but I had to get to the local police stations I stay in Louisiana Shreveport

[@barrykelly2722]

Dont blame me. I voted for Ron Paul. Side note. I think the uv-5r has quick key for the noaa frequencies. I'll check and modify this post if I can recall the steps.

[@HawkinsWX]

There are 7 frequencies not 6

[@seriouspipes]

162.475 MHz is the 7th. Many NOAA Weather Radio receivers are also programmed for three additional frequencies; 161.650 MHz, 161.775 MHz and 163.275 MHz

[@ComputerTech95]

The Hawkins EAS/ SPC Kingsport 6460 nope channel 7 is 162.550 cause thats the frequency on my weather radio channel 4 is 162.475 mhz

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Mel McMurrin 161.650, 161.775, 161.750 and 162.000 MHz are allocated for Canadian Continuous Marine Broadcasts issued by the Environment Canada. In the Pacific Coast of Canada, they broadcasted CMB on Weather radio frequencies.

[@ChrisOakesCO]

There's 7 frequencies actually

[@futuristicentity2417]

Years later in 2023 these are still more dependable than paying for so called premium services which are scams.

[@WORRO]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@Jamin.Tortuga]

Thnx dude👍🏼

[@theeightbitdad]

I dont hear anything on any of them.

[@KandiKlover]

out of box, funny thing is these wouxun and boafeng radios can also transmit of the noaa radio haha

Even better idea! Just buy a NOAA Weather Radio

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

and also radio scannners, NOAA walkie talkies, etc.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

NOAA WEATHER RADIO outside US, Canada, Mexico and Bermuda, Taxi radios in Europe.

[@L_T34]

well yeah but some people are interested in ham radios so this is a good guide in my opinion even though i only have one ham radio :-D
