The National Weather Service uses several special radio frequencies to provide continuous
reports of the local weather conditions and forecasts throughout the United States. Taped
weather messages are repeated every four to six minutes on a 24-hour basis and are routinely
revised every one to three hours, or more frequently if needed.
During severe weather, the routine weather broadcasts will be interrupted with special
weather warning messages.
The BMW COMMUNICATOR is designed to receive all these special weather
frequencies plus three international marine frequencies. An NOAA Weather Radio
Network Frequency pamphlet is enclosed to identify the frequencies specifically
broadcast for your geographical area.
The BMW COMMUNICATOR receives CB, National Weather Service and
international marine weather broadcast frequencies as listed below:
