Can this radio tune to NOAA weather frequency if the frequency is typed in manually? And perhaps air band?

No. This radio, whether tuned by dial or direct entry, can tune only to 29999 kHz, which is the top of the HF bands. Both services that you mentioned are in the VHF portion of the radio spectrum.

No, just push the "FM" button on the SIRIUS receiver to get a list of frequencies to select from, choose one & then tune the radio to that freq,

I don't remember. I ended up giving this away to my brother, I could not figure out how to set it up. I have yet to meet a weather radio I actually like.

No, it has the 7 preset national weather channels. Dial to the one for your area and it gives continuous weather reports.

It has 10 presets for am and 10 for fm. 1 for NOAA. Has an alert function too. When there is a NOAA alert broadcast, radio will turn on to NOAA band.

It does not give weather information. You need a radio for that to tune into the marine or land forecasts.
1471901
No. It's pretty much frequency specific to the VHF radio spectrum. 150.000 MHz to aprox 166.000 mhz.

I heard you have to enter the frequencies with a computer app. Do not know what it is.

While it will receive FM radio broadcast stations and NOAA weather broadcasts, it's not its primary function. To be able to transmit on amateur frequencies, you need a license and having the capability to transmit on non authorized frequencies may get you in trouble. A much better choice would be a receive only portable radio...

This is a great radio. Not meant to be a dedicated NOAA radio. For the price it is well worth it. I love it for what it is meant to do. All features work as stated in the description..

This is a great radio, but it does not serve as a weather alert radio where you can program in your county or region to receive alerts when severe weather is in the area. As with most radios, you have to manually dial in the AM or FM stations you want to hear. We've used this radio while taking cover from a tornado in our underground storm shelter, and it worked great!

Don't know. Never thought of it. However tuning on to a station is not "clean". Sometimes you have to go beyond then go back to get a precise tuning.

Short answer is yes. But you must set up the radio to first the frequency of a weather radio signal in your area and turn on the alert feature. Note that you will receive only official alerts from the weather service, and they are normally in advance of any TV or commercial radio alerts.

As far as I know it does not give automatic alerts. It has a weather radio, AM and FM.

The instructions that come with the radio are inadequate in regard to that subject. The radio has 7 NOAA channels which one tunes to the strongest one; then the ALERT button is pressed to put the radio in the ALERT mode. I am making a presumption that will activate during severe weather alerts; not had any such alerts yet this year. I also have severe weather alerts that come from an area TV station and that should let me know if the ALERT function on the radio work accordingly.

Dylan, if the channels in question are between (roughly) 29.700 MHz and 29.900 MHz - then yes it will. To confirm, do a search on the Internet to see where the weather channels fall in your area. Some may be in the 1.25 meter or 2 meter frequency ranges, while others will be in the HF range (1.8 MHz - 29.9000). I hope this helps!

It does have a built in FM receiver and will receive NOAA weather info of you program the frequencies. It does not have a weather alert feature.
