    10 years later and the only one in my rural area that's being broadcast on is 162.400, but it's covering a current storm and you laid out all the freqs so I could write those down as well. Thank you so much

    Why does my baofeng say “cancel” on the last digit of every single NOAA channel. I can’t connect to a lot of channels on my radio due to the stupid thing saying “cancel.” I’m a noob to this and need help so I can use this in an emergency and need to here NOAA weather.

I can't even hear the police department that's 3 miles down the road.. what am I doing wrong? Brand new to ham and have yet to hear anything but static. Google is no help

      tune to the channel then turn squelch to max. unscrew antenna then program channel to memory. then reassemble and turn squelch back to desired setting. doing both allowed me to save noaa to memory.

      It depends on a litany of factors, such as distance from the nearest repeater, thickness of your walls, and your receiver antenna. I can hear it perfectly from my room. I'm using a Baofeng UV-5R (I think it's actually a clone) with a Nagoya NA-771.
