Hi everyone! I have a Midland WR120 weather radio. Had it for a little over a year or so, kept it in the office (2nd floor of house, no metal roof) on my table next to the computer whose right in front of a window. No complaints...seemed to work great. I setup "the littleless shack that could"...

At midnight my weather radio alarm went off with a 10 day sentry alert. I know that that means that there hasn't been a weather alsert in 10 days. I just realized that this is the second week in a row that this occurred. The first thing I checked was for reception of 162.400. There wasn't. I...

Hello. I am interested in the BAOFENG BF-T8 radios. I like the form factor and that they're inexpensive. However, before purchasing, I'd like to know if I need a license to operate that radio? I don't want to get in trouble or get fined. The radio would be for family use only during hiking...

I've recently been trying to receive images from the noaa polar satellites but i have yet to get an actual image ive received steady signal from several of the satellites but all i see are black screens and static, im using an rtl sdr and the dipole it comes with with a wideband lna (5Mhz-4Ghz)...

Hello. I am on a search team for lost/missing people in wilderness areas using dogs. We have been using the .5 watt FRS radios, and they cut out a bunch. So we resort to other apps to communicate among team members and Base, but these have their own shortcomings at times. My question: Does...

Just joined today as I just got my first scanner yesterday. It is the old Regency ACT R 106 model. I am able to receive the local NOAA weather broadcast on the last/most furthest right indicator only. The other nine produce nothing other than the squelch noise(?). Any help would greatly be...

Now that weather radio is permitted on Broadcastify I've volunteered to provide the stream for my local area. I would prefer to use a regular weather band radio for this instead of keeping a scanner tied up for such a simple task. The issue I've found is that all the weather radios I've found...

I'm looking for a good place to catch weather satellite data near Allen, but out of the suburbs. I've thought about the McKinney Airport, but I'm worried about RF interference. Some country road where I can pull off to the side in a car with the horizon viewable in all directions would be...

Working off a XPR8300 and a mix of digital and analog channels is there a reliable way to have a NOAA weather radio transmit (possibly a VOX feature) on the primary channel for when there is a weather alert for the county the system is in? Has anyone tried this type of setup before? Thanks mwuc14

At about 11 AM on 9/28, an EAS alert was broadcast over the Morris County TX Sheriff's dispatch channel 154.875. The EAS alert, preceded by the EAS SAME tone bursts and warning tones, announced that 16 Chinese nuclear missiles were inbound and would impact within the next 15 minutes. The message...

I have a Motorola HT1000 VHF I use for Ham repeaters, and I also have the 7 weather channels programmed in. but i would like to use it as a weather alert radio but when i set up Quick-Call it seems that it uses 2 tones, and there must be a delay between tone 1 and tone 2. using the 1060 Hz tone...

I Have tried to receive the NOAA APT satellites on the 136-137 MHz range but i can never see the picture (its attached) i use MultiPSK and use a TYT TH-9800 Quad band radio can anyone help!

I want to get into "APT" viewing on the 136-137 MHz range due to my intrist in the HF weather satellite frequencies, however, many pictures I decode on HF are charts, or other non-satellite picture, but I did recieve a satellite picture at 8:00 PM 1/26/2015 on a frequency I have stored...

Has anyone ever hear of a fill in the blank sheet for NOAA / NWS radio transmissions? I have a very bad memory and thought it to be a great idea to have a sheet of laminated paper that has the basic structure of a NOAA radio transmission filled out and you the listener just fill in the blanks...

I happened to tune to WXJ21 (162.550 MHz) about 3:15 PM today, Sunday July 21 2013 and noticed that the broadcast fluctuated between the normal computer generated voice you normally hear and what sounded like a true human talking into the mic. Anyone know if the transmitter is having problems or...

Hello Everyone on RR, Just a quick question.. So i've got this scanner.. Radioshack Pro-106 and I can program in SAME codes on it for my county and surrounding counties. Can someone please explain to me what Event codes are and do you need them for the SAME codes to work? Thank you! Henry N2HJS

Does any one know of anyone outside the RF relm that use NOAA broadcasts for weather, as far as I know receivers of this band are on scanners, amater radios, and CB/Marine radios and dedicated weather reveivers, all of which are not in the possesion of the common consumer.

Does anyone know what Skywarn is i have the button on my scanner i seems like NOAA and the NWS

I was wanting to know if there was a way i could pick up TYS airport Comm i live about 30 mi away from the airport but live next to a repeater. I am new to this stuff.
