HOW TO TUNE IN TO NOAA BROADCASTS BY RETEVIS MARINE RADIO

NOAA provides a nationwide weather radio service. It broadcasts using a network of radio stations around the US, distributing the latest weather information sourced from the National Weather Service (NWS) departments in various regions. These radio broadcasts send out forecasts, weather observations, alerts, warnings, and potentially hazardous information, around the clock.

NOAA broadcasts can be accessed on regular radios, including those found in ship radio. However, these radios may not always be in range of the NOAA frequencies. For more reliable access, it’s recommended that you use a dedicated NOAA radio weather receiver.

Some receivers come with a range of valuable features. For example, the most crucial feature is that it sends automatic warning alerts if dangerous weather conditions are incoming in your area.

The public can receive NOAA frequencies from dedicated broadcasts on seven different frequencies in the VHF marine radio：

162.400 MHz

162.425 MHz

162.450 MHz

162.475 MHz

162.500 MHz
