Crickets from NOAA

[WSHI569]

Hello, my Baofeng UV9G is set to 162.475 to listen to NOAA. I've heard nothing for the last hour. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank You in Advance!

Try the other 6 NOAA frequencies? Without knowing where you are, we don't have any way to know what NOAA channel you SHOULD be hearing them on.

Omg 6HOURS without noaa?  if we only had any other way to hear about the weather!!!! Maybe someone should invent a World Wide Web and put weather info on it!!!!   Some times noaa goes down. Sometimes for hours sometimes for days.   It happens.  We just have to learn about the weather like people did 50, 100, 200…… years ago.

Stop with the negativity. We all know that you are just a hateful rude person with no friends. You really need to pull your head out of your forth point of contact and then see a doctor so that your headspace and timing can be reset.

And to answer why someone would want to listen to the NOAA channels, the internet might go out during a bad storm or the person might be somewhere that there is no internet or cell service.

If he's that worried then consult this site for the status of various NOAA weather stations.

This is a common problem when you don't set your time zone to your location and leave it set to Beijing.

Transmitter Maintenance or a broken link from NOAA.

NOAA was working perfectly for me and I didn't notice any interruption of signal. I don't even think it is possible as they have to many redundancies built in.

Decided to sniff around once I was home.

WSHI569's in Somersville, CT.

162.475 appears to be the closest one, and isn't reporting as degraded or as an outage.

So the question is: can he receive it on another radio and this one's misconfigured / goofy?

I don’t see why not. The NOAA stations TX 24/7 using wide band FM so any radio that can receive the frequency should work. Also you really don’t need a squelch setting if you’re close enough. Plus you shouldn’t be using any kind of tone either.
