    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

    Yeah I was listening to local police radio before I made the video. This radio has an A and a B frequency. The B frequency (not in use in the video) is on the bottom.

    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.

    If you want to hear NOAA inside your house, you'll have to turn your squelch down to 0 or hit the monitor button.

      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.

    it doesnt mean you can't listen to them it just the right antenna that makes a huge reception difference in capture of the frequency

    I learn today you do not need a actual weather radio to pick up WR feeds those frequencies can be pick up on any VHF radio that can pick up the 162. frequencies just like in this guys video can pick up weather radio feeds

    I live 30 miles from Albany NY and I can't hear anything on 162.550, in fact, I can't hear anything on any of them, I only hear static on all of them when I turn the squelch down from 1 to 0(off). 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
