on the FT-60 all you have to do is press and hold the 1 key and it goes into a factory programmed NOAA bank that has all of the NOAA weather radio frequencies all ready in it. it also does not matter if it is in memory or VFO mode. then when you are done just press and hold the 1 key again. if you want to scan the NOAA frequencies. once you are in that bank. press the PTT. it will scan through them. the FT-60 also has the alert function as well. it ties into the dual watch mode. Most HAM radios have all of the NOAA weather radio Frequencies already programmed into a specific Bank. so you don't have to change the tuning step or anything. Just go into that bank and it only has NOAA. and most HAM radios have an Alert option too

I know this vid is 2 years old But quite a few people I know have bought these radios for just the weather, as good weather radio are getting harder To find now days, fm radio, flash light, USB rechargeable and other emergency frequencys help. When weather can kill you it's very important to have something small and portable with more than one function when the power go's out.

Correct. I went of the base list for US only. Left out the channels used for our northern brothers. The full list is here...Page 30...as well as a bunch of other useful info. www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/National%20Interoperability%20Field%20Operations%20Guide%20v1%206%201.pdf

If your radio can't pick up NOAA frequencies see if your radio has a ATT or ATTN button. It's Attenuator and if a signal is super strong it will overload the radio and not come it at all pressing the ATTN button tunes the frequency to not overload it. My Retevis RT85 will not receive NOAA frequencies and has no attenuation feature so I literally cant get them in. My other radio has the Attenuator option and with it they come in perfectly, and my expensive high end SDS100 uniden scanner gets them in perfectly and will automatically adjust attenuation that cheaper radios wont do automatically. Also make sure you're using the antenna that came with the radio or if you changed it make sure the new one is tuned for VHF and not just UHF. UHF antennas may not receive VHF or if they do it might receive poorly. Hope that helps someone, there's really no mention of this issue anywhere on the internet.

So I guess a SW radio can't catch these frequencies? Grundig Mini 300 pe ?

The frequencies on 162...... MHz are from stations dotted around the US. Those signals are not from satellites.

Tough to troubleshoot away from the radio. Could be a number of things. Be sure you are in VFO mode and not in your memory channels, and your keypad is not locked (probably goes without saying). Be sure your radio transmit and receive range is set for its maximum (if a US radio VHF should be 136-174 and UHF is 400-480, you must do this is programming software) If still having issues, consider saving your setting on the computer with CHIRP, then doing a factory reset of the radio and trying it again., This would rule out if it is a specific setting in the unit. Or if you can get to it with the up down keys, just work with it that way (although it is slow).
