Hi , I thought this would be of interest to you. I correlated the weather station frequency of my icom & standard horizons radio to the frequencies of NOAA. (your radio may be different, ck your manual) These are the results. In the first table I put the wx channel next to the city name. in the next table the channels have their own col. There will be no more searching for me to find the appropriate channel for the area I am cruising. If you havent done this before, print this out & mark up your charts.

Press that button and you will be listening to one of the computer generated voices of NOAA's weather radio (assuming, of course, your radio is turned on.) Press your channel button or dial up or down to change to one of the seven frequencies you wish to hear. On some of the channels, there will be only static, or no sound at all. You will find one, two or maybe three which are broadcasting a weather report. One of these is for your area. "Many NOAA Weather Radio receivers are also programmed for three additional frequencies; 161.650 MHz (marine VHF Ch 21B), 161.775 MHz (marine VHF Ch 83B) and 163.275 MHz. The first two frequencies are used by Canada for marine weather broadcasts. 163.275 MHz was used by the National Weather Service for internal coordination in the event of a power outage but is no longer in active use." You may be a little curious, as we were, why there are 10 weather channels on your VHF radio but only 7 transmitting channels. We looked on the National Weather Service Site and e-mailed the Weather Service and we were pointed to this, quoted from the NWS <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/wxradio.htm> website: Further, regarding this, please note that the weather channel and the frequency list are not standard through the industry and government. For instance: We've put this in order by latitude from north to south. Print out this chart, fill in the channel for your radio for each frequency listed and store it in your log book or somewhere convenient.
