The unique
WXALERT
mode on the CCRadio will alert you to special
weather related emergencies. During an emergency or weather related
hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set off an audible
and/or visual alarm on the radio.
NOTE: Hazard warnings are not available in all areas.
There are seven standard NOAA weather channels used in the US and
Canada. This radio receives broadcasts up to 50 miles from transmitting
stations.

severe weather or weather related emergency NOAA will update the
weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather emergency
