Common
questions & answers:
Q:
What is NOAA Weather Radio?
A: For
information on this subject, please visit our
NOAA
Weather Radio information page; the page you
are viewing is designed to help you tune into
the Internet broadcasts.
Q:
How can I listen in to the products
in the NWR broadcast cycle?
A: First
of all, you'll need a media player installed on
your PC. Most Windows 98 or later
computers already have one already installed,
so you may not have to download any special software.
Second of all, you'll need to be connected to
the Internet at 14.4 Kbps or faster; we recommend
a 28.8 Kbps connection or better for best results.
Click on the MP3 link for the NWR product you wish
to listen to, and your default media player will
load and play the clip. If you click on
a link and nothing happens, or the clip does not
play normally, rebooting (restarting) your PC
will most likely clear up the problem.
Q:
Is this a live broadcast?
A: The
audio MP3 files you are listening to on the Internet
are a direct representation of what is being transmitted
live from our transmitter in Phoenix, Yuma and Globe; each product
in the NWR broadcast cycle has been encoded
as an MP3 file and placed onto our web server
so that you may listen to it. Each time the a
product in the broadcast cycle is updated, a new
MP3 file is encoded, so that whatever you are
listening to is always current.
