It has a weather band switch, although I have never been able to tune in anything. Although, I have only attempted to use it indoors and the FM and AM work fine. Not sure if NOAA is separate from the weather band.

It does not. The radio only emits sound from the am/fm radio or the 5 nature sounds provided on the clock.

No. But you receive useful information from NOAA about weather around you, water info. I have 3 of these scattered among family members and 1that I have with me always.

These are the VHF public service bands the noaa is broadcast on 162.400,162.425,162.450,162.475,162.500,162.525, 162.550 MHz.I don't think it will get vhf frequencies.

As far as I can tell this little radio receiver will automtically home in on the nearest NOAA weather statation. The on/off slide swithch has a third position for weather alerts.

As far as I know it does not give automatic alerts. It has a weather radio, AM and FM.

I don't think so. I had to add some stations manually. it is easy to add satellites or channels. look up the frequency and add it manually

No, not this radio. you need a mode 1 radio for that or a radio that allows such programming.

Yes it does.You can leave it on constantly which could be annoying since it is a repeated broadcast ny NOAA. Or leave it in alert mode in the event of a storm, disaster, etc...

Listen to this only for day time talk radio.Not tuned in to weather station so the short answer is "unsure".wn

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

No not without a digital to analog converter box. The stations do not broadcast in analog anymore.

First you should know that I have neither radio. However I do have a First Alert radio similar in operation to the WR300 and Uniden scanners similar to the Uniden 500 channel radio. If you are interested in only the NOAA weather alerts then the WR300 would be a good choice. The Uniden is a scanner radio which can also be set to receive your local public service channels such as police and fire. This particular Uniden radio however is only capable of receiving analog radio transmissions and many public services have switched to digital and/or trunking systems. This Uniden radio will not receive those public service systems. If you are interested in that you should check what is used in your area. Both will receive NOAA but if I was interested in only NOAA weather alerts I would use the WR300 with the S.A.M.E. feature. THat is my opinion. Hope it helps.

This receiver does not have the VHF frequencies included, it cannot receive NOAA broadcasts in the 162 mHz band. It will receive weather broadcasts for oceanic and aeronautic frequencies on the HF frequencies.

Yes, I think so--was thinking of getting that one--but the weather radio feature is good to have. Great little radio!

You have to get used to the menus which are in alphabetical order. Then you can program it easily, especially for repeaters. If you just want to listen to a certain frequency like NOAA , you just punch it in like a phone. The manual shows you how to do everything. If you get the USB cable, you can program it from a computer.
