NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a service of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of
the U. S. Department of Commerce. As the "Voice
of the National Weather Service," it provides continuous
broadcasts of the latest weather information from
local National Weather Service offices.
Weather messages are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes
and are routinely updated every 1 to 6 hours or
more frequently in rapidly changing local weather
or if a nearby hazardous environmental condition
exists. The Elko NOAA Weather Radio operates 24
hours daily.
NOAA Weather Radio network currently has over 480
transmitters, covering the 50 states, adjacent coastal
waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S Virgin Islands, and
the U. S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special
radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up
the signal. Broadcasts are found in the public service
band at these seven frequencies(MHz): 162.400;
162.425; 162.450; 162.475; 162.500; 162.525; 162.550
