🔍 Key Concepts

• NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) uses specific VHF-FM frequencies around 162 MHz • The traditional MF/SSB distress and calling frequency for voice is 2182 kHz • Common VHF marine working/bridge channels (like Channel 13) are around 156 MHz, not on weather-radio assignments

💭 Think About

• Which of the answer choices match the standard NOAA Weather Radio frequency list (all are in the 162.400–162.550 MHz range with specific assigned values)? • Which answer choice is actually the old distress/calling frequency used for long-range (MF) radiotelephone, not local weather? • Which answer choice corresponds to a normal VHF marine channel used for ship-to-ship/bridge‑to‑bridge, not weather broadcasts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which frequency (in MHz) is on the official NOAA Weather Radio channel list. • Confirm that 2182 kHz is in kilohertz and used for distress/calling, not routine weather forecasts. • Check that 156.65 MHz is assigned to a standard VHF marine channel (bridge‑to‑bridge) rather than a weather broadcast channel.
