Is it tuned for the weather band?

Not exactly sure, but you could try getting a cb/weather radio combo and try that with the K40. But I would recommend getting a fiberglass antenna if you are using a cb radio, and a separate antenna for weather radio.

I don't know if it is specifically "tuned" to the NOAA band but mine does receive it well.

No this is tuned for Citizens Band frequencies. You need a 2 meter antenna for W.B.

No,this is for Citizens Band radio frequencies. You'll need a different antenna for weather band frequencies unless you invest in a Uniden 980 SS cb radio which has weather band frequencies included and then you can use this antenna. It's best that you purchase a weather band radio if that's the only thing you want.

Yes, I think so--was thinking of getting that one--but the weather radio feature is good to have. Great little radio!

I have XM radio. However we used to it in some pretty remote areas of the Northwoods. The weather band was already used. There were a couple that came in pretty clear the rest were pretty staticky but I could still hear the forecast and I could still prepare for any income at weather. They work great for 18 bucks.

I'm very pleased with the antenna. To answer the question YES it picks up the weather channels. The antenna is attached to my Cobra 38 WXST handheld radio. I really don't think you will have any issues with it.

No it is not. It is tuned to ignore small waves. We have had severe weather set it off.

I listen to FM nearly weekly and plays very well. Also has the weather band so if bad weather in the area you can get the most recent weather updates. The radio is very easy to operate and the directions to set the clock and preset your favorite stations is easy to figure out.

It has thunder, ocean, brook, summer night, rain, and white noise as the options. Hope that helps!

Yes, it gives the regional NOAA weather conditions and forecasts. Local news is better and more specific if no watches and warnings are in effect.

I have no idea. The main reason I bought it was to have the weather channel- it did not work. The radio was fine but no weather. So back it went and I did not buy a replacement.

Mine was already tuned. Aside from maybe a minor adjustment to tuning it's ready to go.

Yes. There are multiple holes in the wrist band. I sometimes adjust the tightness during a round if it is humid.

I'm not sure how well it picks up weather band. But any CB antenna will work for any CB unless it's a piece of crap, but Firestiks are great.

Yes, mine picks up weather channels. I have it connected to a Cobra 29 WS NW ST cb radio.

No it does not. You have to tune the radio yourself to the weather band by switching from your normal cd/aux/radio to the weather band input. It is however easy to do and the the weatherband channel provides constant updates
