About NOAA The National Weather Service operates a system of weather and hazard alert broadcasts covering a large area of the United States. Currently, only a few areas are not covered. Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the weather station. Your ER102 weather radio can receive broadcasts from up to 50 miles from the weather station depending on your location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. . . If you find reception is not good in your area, try different locations in your home or office to find a spot of improved reception. Placement near a window usually improves reception. If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact you local NWS office and verify the closest station is on air. The web site is http://www. nws. noaa. gov/nwr/. Selecting a Weather Channel · The ER102 has 7 NOAA weather channels to choose from. · Use the 7 position WX Channel slide switch to find the strongest weather channel in your area (usually only one of the channels).
